رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ caused great pain to Sayyidunā Abū Bakr Ṣiddīq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ by favouring those who had laid a false blame on his beloved daughter, Umm-ul-Mu`minīn Sayyidatunā ‘Āishaĥ Ṣiddīqaĥ رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهَا. Dejected, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ swore not to provide for him any longer. Upon this, verse number 22 of Sūraĥ An-Nūr, part 18 was revealed. The verse is as follows:
وَ لَا یَاۡتَلِ اُولُوا الۡفَضۡلِ مِنۡکُمۡ وَ السَّعَۃِ اَنۡ یُّـؤۡ تُوۡۤا اُولِی الۡقُرۡبٰی وَ الۡمَسٰکِیۡنَ وَ الۡمُہٰجِرِ یۡنَ فِیۡ سَبِیۡلِ اللّٰہِ ۪ۖ وَ لۡیَعۡفُوۡا وَ لۡیَصۡفَحُوۡا ؕ اَ لَا تُحِبُّوۡنَ اَنۡ یَّغۡفِرَ اللّٰہُ لَکُمۡ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ غَفُوۡ رٌ رَّحِیۡمٌ ﴿۲۲﴾
And swear not those among you who are possessors of excellence and of (worldly) means to give to the kinmen and to the needy and to the emigrants in the way of Allah; and they should forgive and overlook; do you not like that Allah may forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 18, Sūraĥ An-Nūr, verse 22)
After the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم recited this verse, Sayyidunā Abū Bakr Ṣiddīq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: I wish that Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) forgive me and I would never discontinue providing for Misṭaḥ (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ). Therefore, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ resumed his financial cooperation with him. The foregoing verse shows even if a person has sworn not to do a certain thing but later on he learns that doing that thing is better, so he should do it and pay
