Al-Hakam bin Utaybah said: When people began talking about the matter of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I came, and I had no fever, yet I was in distress (or: I was trembling). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: O Aishah, what are the people saying? Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I said: By the One who sent you with the truth, I will not offer any excuse regarding what the people are saying until the declaration of my innocence is revealed from heaven. So Allah Almighty revealed fifteen verses of Surah al-Nur concerning Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). Then the narrator al-Hakam recited these verses until he reached this point: "Evil women are for evil men, and evil men are for evil women; and good women are for good men, and good men are specific to good women." Al-Hakam said: This means that evil women are for evil men and evil men are for evil women, and good women are for good men and good men are for good women.
Al-Tabarani recorded it as mursal, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, if the unspecified narrator named Sulayman is Sulayman bin Abd al-Rahman al-Dimashqi, and apparently it is he.
