Abu Ayub refused on principle to believe it and replied that those who said such things are liars. “Can you imagine yourself doing such a thing?” he asked his wife. “Certainly not,” she answered. “Well, how much more chaste and pure Aishah is than you. Why should such actions be attributed to her?” asked Abu Ayub of his wife.
