Sa'id bin Jubayr said: (Allah Almighty says:) "Why, when you heard it." That is, when you heard the accusation made against Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyiduna Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him), why did you not deny it? Why did the believing men and believing women not think (among them is Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her)) "good of their own people"? This means: why did they not think well of one another, since they had not seen this, and why did they not say, as they should have said: This is a lie; that is, why did they not say: This is a false accusation and a clear lie?
Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Ibn Lahi'ah, in whom there is weakness.
