#Firstly Quranic verses [https://quranx.com/24.12?context=4 24:12-16 of Surah Nur] questioned the people why they doubted 'Aisha's innocence and why didn't they immediately denied those slanders at their own. But Islam critics point out that there is contradiction in Quranic revelation and Muhammad's own behaviour. It was Muhammad himself who doubted 'Aisha, and he even wanted to divorce her, and thus those verses should have condemned Muhammad first instead of those companions. | #Firstly Quranic verses [https://quranx.com/24.12?context=4 24:12-16 of Surah Nur] questioned the people why they doubted 'Aisha's innocence and why didn't they immediately denied those slanders at their own.

#Then the revelation came up with entirely new ruling that number of witnesses should be 4 in case of slandering.

No revelation came for 'Aisha's innocence for the whole month. Then Muhammad came to 'Aisha (who was staying in her parent's house at that time) and he claimed that Allah will ''''soon'''<nowiki/>' reveal the verses about her innocence. And then surprisingly, only after one minute, he claimed that revelation came and it made 'Aisha free of those accusations. | No revelation came for 'Aisha's innocence for the whole month.

(Aisha said) 'By Allah, no doubt I know that you heard this (slanderous) speech so that it has been planted in your hearts (i.e. minds) and you have taken it as a truth. Now if I tell you that I am innocent, you will not believe me, and if confess to you about it, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you will surely believe me ...

==Why | And regarding Muhammad's sweating due to the revelation, then Islam critics point out that all the people who show magic tricks, they play with the minds of others, and make many such dramas in order to convince the people that they are indeed talking with unseen creatures. | ||
Therefore, Muhammad once himself forgot that he had to sweat while claiming the descent of revelation, and instead of that, he slept and kept on snorting. | |||
{{Quote|{{Muslim||1180|reference}} and {{Bukhari|||1789|darussalam}}|A man said (to the Holy Prophet): What do you command me to do during my Umra? (It was at this juncture) that '''the revelation came to the Messenger of Allah''' (ﷺ) and he was covered with a cloth, and Ya'la said: Would that I see revelation coming to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: Would it please you to see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) receiving the revelations 'Umar lifted a corner of the cloth '''and I looked at him and he was emitting a sound of snorting. He (the narrator) said: I thought it was the sound of a camel'''. When he was relieved of this (revelation) he said: Where is he who asked about Umra? When the person came, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Wash out the trace of yellowness, or he said: the trace of perfume and put off the cloak and do in your 'Umra what you do in your Hajj.}} | |||
So, neither any hard condition overtook Muhammad, nor he sweat due to the heavy weigt of the revelation, but this time he forgot it and kept on sleeping and snorting comfortably while receiving the revelation. | |||

And one of the doubt is that it might be that Muhammad waited for complete one month, '''while he wanted to make sure that 'Aisha was not pregnant''' (Note: If woman doesn't bleed at time of her first period, then it is a sign that she has become pregnant). | ||
Had Muhammad announced the revelation earlier, and later 'Aisha would have become pregnant, then it would have totally destroyed his claim of prophethood.
