those who brought up that slander were a band from among you. do not regard it as a misfortune for it is good for you. every one of them shall be held to account for the sin he has committed and he who took the greater part in it shall have a terrible punishment.
إن الذين جاءوا بالإفك عصبة منكم لا تحسبوه شرا لكم بل هو خير لكم لكل امرئ منهم ما اكتسب من الإثم والذي تولى كبره منهم له عذاب عظيم
