40-        Some scholars said Sa‘d ibn Mu‘aath, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: 'If that man is from the tribe of the Aws, then we will chop his head off', because Aws are his people and tribe. He did not say from Al-Khazraj for the dispute that was between Aws and Al-Khazraj before Islam and then removed by Islam and some it remained due to haughtiness.

45-        Whoever causes harm to the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, with a word or an act should be killed because Sa‘d ibn Mu‘aath, may Allaah be pleased with him, said that and the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, did not disapprove it.

46-        Helping the one who is afflicted with a calamity such as pains, crying or sadness.

47-        The approach of verifying news that Abu Bakr, may Allaah be pleased with him, adopted because nothing was reported from him regarding that story, although it lasted for one month, even one word except what was reported in some routes of the Hadeeth that he said: By Allaah, this was not said about us in the pre-Islamic time, then how it can be after Allaah has honored us with Islam.' This was in the Hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar reported by At-Tabaraani.

50-        The prescription of Tawbah (i.e. turning to Allaah The Almighty with repentance) and that it is accepted from the one whom acknowledged his sin and gave it up in all sincerity; however, just acknowledging it is not sufficient.

51-        Acknowledging with what was not occurred is not permissible, even if it is known that he is truthful in that; rather one should say truth or keep silent.

57-        adopting a gradual approach with one who was afflicted with a calamity and then removed so that happiness may not attack his heart all at once for it may destroy him. This can be deduced when the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, started to laugh when revelation sent down to him announcing the innocence of ‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, then gave her the glad tiding, then informed her with her complete innocence, then recited verses before her. Wise people have stated that the one who suffers from intensive thirst should not go extremely in drinking water for this may destroy him; rather, he should drink bit by bit.

And Allaah knows and you do not know.} [Quran 24: 19].

66-        Prohibition and the horribleness of having doubts regarding the innocence of ‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her. Scholars said: "Whoever insults her from which Allaah The Almighty has declared her innocence, then he does not believe in Allaah The Almighty and whoever does so is a Kaafir (disbeliever). Imam Maalik, may Allaah have mercy upon him, and others adopted that opinion.(1).

68-        This Hadeeth implies that Hadd may be delayed for the one who is feared to cause sedition with applying Hadd to him. This was pointed out by Ibn Battaal, based on that Abdullah ibn 'Ubayy was one of those who slandered ‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, while it is not stated in the Hadeeth that Hadd was applied to him. Al-Qaadhi ‘iyaadh, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said: "It was not proved that he began the slander, rather, what was proved is that he used to add exaggerated details to it."
