[Machine] About Qatadah's saying, "And if it had not been for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have been touched by a great punishment for what you have put forth," he said, "This is regarding Aisha, and it is said that the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were almost destroyed because of it."
عَنْ قَتَادَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَفَضْتُمْ فِيهِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} قَالَ «هَذَا فِي شَأْنِ عَائِشَةَ ؓ وَفِيمَا قِيلَ كَادَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُهْلَكُوا فِيهِ»
