[AI] "From Abu Sahr, he said: 'If they do not bring four witnesses for it, then they are the liars before Allah' ('whoever accuses a Muslim and does not bring four witnesses for it, then he is to receive the punishment of slander')."
عَنْ أَبِي صَخْرٍ {لَوْلَا جَاءُوا عَلَيْهِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَإِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِالشُّهَدَاءِ فَأُولَئِكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ} «كُلُّ مَنْ قَذَفَ مُسْلِمًا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَهُوَ قَاذِفٌ عَلَيْهِ حَدُّ الْقَذْفِ»
And why did the accusers not bring four witnesses to it? If they cannot produce such witnesses, they are the liars in God’s eyes.
لَّوْلَا جَآءُو عَلَيْهِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَۚ فَإِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا۟ بِٱلشُّهَدَآءِ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلْكَٰذِبُونَ
[AI] Ibn Abbas said, "If they did not bring forth four witnesses, they themselves, along with those who testified, would be regarded as liars. But since they did not present witnesses, they are indeed the ones who are lying before Allah." He intends to lie with his own eye.
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ « {لَوْلَا جَاءُوا عَلَيْهِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ} » لَكَانُوا هُمْ وَالَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا كَاذِبَيْنَ {فَإِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِالشُّهَدَاءِ فَأُولَئِكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ} «يُرِيدُ الْكَذِبَ بِعَيْنِهِ»
[AI] About Sa'id ibn Jubayr in his statement {If they do not produce witnesses, then it is they, in the sight of Allah, who are the liars.} meaning those who accused Aisha.
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ {لَوْلَا جَاءُوا عَلَيْهِ} يَعْنِي «عَلَى الْقَذْفِ» {بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَإِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِالشُّهَدَاءِ فَأُولَئِكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ} يَعْنِي «الَّذِينَ قَذَفُوا عَائِشَةَ»
