حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , قَالَ : أَمْلَى عَلَيَّ هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ , مِنْ حِفْظِهِ , أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ , عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ , قَالَ : قَالَ لِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَبَلَغَكَ , أَنَّ عَلِيًّا كَانَ فِيمَنْ قَذَفَ عَائِشَةَ , قُلْتُ : لَا , وَلَكِنْ قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلَانِ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا , قَالَتْ لَهُمَا : " كَانَ عَلِيٌّ مُسَلِّمًا فِي شَأْنِهَا فَرَاجَعُوهُ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ , وَقَالَ مُسَلِّمًا بِلَا شَكٍّ فِيهِ وَعَلَيْهِ كَانَ فِي أَصْلِ الْعَتِيقِ كَذَلِكَ " .
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Al-Walid bin `Abdul Malik said to me, "Have you heard that `Ali' was one of those who slandered `Aisha?" I replied, "No, but two men from your people (named) Abu Salama bin `Abdur-Rahman and Abu Bakr bin `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith have informed me that Aisha told them that `Ali remained silent about her case."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The word "Musliman" has been recited both with a kasrah and a fathah on the letter "lam." If it is in the form of an active participle (ism fa'il), then its meaning is "silent," and if it is in the form of a passive participle (ism maf'ul), then its meaning is "safe" or "secure."
➋
When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) consulted Ali (radi Allahu anhu) regarding this matter, he replied:
"O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! There are many women besides her.
Do not trouble yourself unnecessarily."
Since the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was greatly distressed, he said this to console him.
These words were not used out of jealousy or enmity towards Aisha (radi Allahu anha).
Aisha (radi Allahu anha) did, however, dislike these words. Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah), referencing Hilyat Abi Nu'aym, has written that Imam Zuhri (rahimahullah) was with Walid bin Abdul Malik.
He recited this verse:
﴿وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ﴾ ()
Then he said that by this is meant Ali (radi Allahu anhu).
Imam Zuhri (rahimahullah) replied:
"May Allah rectify the matter of the Amir! The case is not so; rather, what is meant is Abdullah bin Ubayy."
Hisham, the son of Abdul Malik, also held the view regarding Ali (radi Allahu anhu) that he was among those who made the accusation, but Imam Zuhri (rahimahullah) emphatically refuted this.
(Fath al-Bari: 7/544)
➌
At the time of the incident of Ifk, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was greatly distressed.
He consulted Usamah, Barirah (radi Allahu anhuma), and Zaynab (radi Allahu anha) regarding this matter:
All of these were members of the household.
All of them emphatically declared the purity of Lady Aisha (radi Allahu anha).
The fourth member of the household was Ali (radi Allahu anhu). When he was asked, instead of confirming or denying the accusation,
seeing the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) distressed and considering his happiness,
he said:
"Allah will not constrain you."
There are many women besides Aisha (radi Allahu anha), but not a single word came from his tongue that would support the accusation made against Aisha (radi Allahu anha),
nor did he say anything that would cast aspersions on her person or her purity.
It is the propaganda of the Rawafid that there was any jealousy or enmity between them; this is absolutely not the case.
And Allah knows best.
