An-Nur (The Light)
Surah 24 · Verse 11
Those who came up with the devised falsehood {1} are certainly a group from among you. Do not think that it is harmful for you, no, it is good for you. For every man among them, is that which he has earned of the sin, and he among them who is responsible to a greater extent (regarding devising the falsehood), for him there is a great punishment.

When Prophet Muhammed was returning from the expedition against: Bani Mus-taliq in 5th year of Hijra, Hazrat Ayesha his wife who had accompanied him went out in search of her lost necklace. In her absence supposing her to be in her howdah the caravan started for the onward journey while it was still dark. She was thus left behind and next morning found by Safwan, a Muhajir who had been left behind the camp to pick up forgotten articles. He brought her back to the caravan. Some enemies from among the hypocrites started spreading false reports slandering her. Hazrat Ayesha’s innocence was established by this revelation.
