About the story of ʿAisha and their narrations were similar attesting each other, when the liars said what they invented about ʿAisha, and the Divine Inspiration was delayed, Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for ʿAli and Usama to consult them in divorcing his wife (i.e. ʿAisha). Usama said, "Keep your wife, as we know nothing about her except good." Barirah said, "I cannot accuse her of any defect except that she is still a young girl who sleeps, neglecting her family's dough which the domestic goats come to eat (i.e. she was too simpleminded to deceive her husband)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who can help me to take revenge over the man who has harmed me by defaming the reputation of my family? By Allah, I have not known about my family-anything except good, and they mentioned (i.e. accused) a man about whom I did not know anything except good."

After the slanderers had given a forged statement against her, Messenger of Allah ﷺ called ʿAli bin Abi Talib and Usama bin Zaid when the Divine Inspiration was delayed. He wanted to ask them and consult them about the question of divorcing me. Usama gave his evidence that was based on what he knew about my innocence, but ʿAli said, "Allah has not put restrictions on you and there are many women other than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave girl who will tell you the truth." So the Prophet ﷺ asked Barira (my salve girl), "Have you seen anything that may arouse your suspicion?" She replied, "I have not seen anything more than that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of her family (unguarded) that the domestic goats come and eat it." Then the Prophet ﷺ stood on the pulpit and said, "O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed me by slandering my wife? By Allah, I know nothing about my family except good." The narrator added: Then the Prophet ﷺ mentioned the innocence of ʿAisha. (See Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)

[Machine] "Praise be to Allah. Many people narrated to me hadiths, even though some of them were not as watchful as others. They claimed that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called upon Ali ibn Abi Talib and Usama ibn Zaid when the revelation was delayed and consulted them regarding divorcing his wives. As for Usama, he pointed to what he knew about the innocence of his family and his love for them. He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, your family and we only know goodness.' As for Ali, he said, 'O Messenger of Allah, may Allah not restrict your choices. There are many women apart from them, and if you ask the virgin girl, she will testify to your truthfulness.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Barira and asked her, 'O Barira, have you seen anything that disturbs you?' Barira replied, 'No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I have never seen anything wrong in her behavior, except that she is a young girl who falls asleep before kneading her family's dough, and the chickens come and eat it.'"
