இன்னும் இதை நீங்கள் செவியேற்ற போது, "இதைப் பற்றி நாம் பேசுவது நமக்கு(த் தகுதி) இல்லை (நாயனே!) நீயே தூயவன்; இது பெரும் பழியாகும்" என்று நீங்கள் கூறியிருக்கலாகாதா?

නුඹලා එයට සවන් දුන් අවස්ථාවේ, ‘මේ ගැන අපි කතා කිරීමට අපට සුදුසු නො වේ. (අල්ලාහ්) ඔබ සුවිශුද්ධ ය. මෙය අතිමහත් අපවාදයකි යැ’යි නුඹලා පවසන්නට තිබුණා නො වේ ද?
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
تم نے ایسی بات کو سنتے ہی کیوں نہ کہہ دیا کہ ہمیں ایسی بات منھ سے نکالنی بھی ﻻئق نہیں۔ یا اللہ! تو پاک ہے، یہ تو بہت بڑا بہتان ہے اور تہمت ہے.

ChineseMa Jian
当你们听见谎言的时候,你们为何不说:我们不该说这种话,赞颂真主, 超绝万物!这是重大的诬蔑。

Tafsir of 24:16

This was reported in the Two Sahihs. Allah's saying: وَلَوْلا إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ قُلْتُمْ مَّا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا (And why did you not, when you heard it, say: "It is not right for us to speak of this".) meaning, we should not talk about it or mention it to anyone. سُبْحَنَكَ هَذَا بُهْتَنٌ عَظِيمٌ (Glory be to You (O Allah)! This is a great lie.) means, glory be to Allah that such a thing should be said about the wife of His Prophet and close Friend .…
