"And why did you not, when you heard it, say: It is not right for us to speak of this..." (V.24:16)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ نَحْوَهُ. وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ نِسْيًا مَنْسِيًّا.
Narrated Al-Qasim: Ibn `Abbas asked `Aisha's permission to enter. Al-Qasim then narrated the whole Hadith (as in 277) but did not mention: "Would that I had been forgotten and out of sight."
