وَإِذْ إِلَىٰ فَلَمَّا بِهِۦ عَلَيْهِ عَنۢ فَلَمَّا بِهِۦ مَنْ هَٰذَا ﴿٣﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement; and when she informed [another] of it and Allah showed it to him, he made known part of it and ignored a part. And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?" He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Acquainted."
