Regarding "And the one who took on most of it" [Nur 24:11], she said, "It was Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul."
{والذي تولى كبره} قالت: عبد الله بن أبي ابن سلول.
Bukhari narrated it in the tafsir (4749), from Abu Naeem, who said, Sufyan narrated to us, from Mamar, from Zuhri, from Urwa, from Ayesha, and he mentioned it. Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul had worked to stir up the discord and was its first instigator, but he did not make the accusation explicitly, and for that reason the punishment for slander was not carried out against him.
