Zuhri reported,

Walid bin Abdul-Malik said to me, "Has it reached you that Ali was among those who slandered Ayesha?"I replied, "No. But two men from your own people, Abu Salama bin Abdul-Rahman and Abu Bakr bin Abdul-Rahman bin Harith, informed me that Ayesha told them Ali had remained silent regarding her affair."

Sahih

عن الزهري، قال

قال لي الوليد بن عبد الملك: أبلغك أن عليا، كان فيمن قذف عائشة، قلت: لا. ولكن قد أخبرني رجلان من قومك- أبو سلمة بن عبد الرحمن وأبو بكر بن عبد الرحمن بن الحارث- أن عائشة قالت لهما: كان علي مسلما في شأنها.
