حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، فَقُلْتُ لَعَلَّهَا ‏{‏كُذِبُوا‏}‏ مُخَفَّفَةً‏.‏ قَالَتْ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ‏ نَحْوَهُ.

"I told her (`Aisha): (Regarding the above narration), they (Apostles) were betrayed (by Allah)." She said: Allah forbid or said similarly.
