Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ‏‏{‏لاَ يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللَّهُ بِاللَّغْوِ‏}‏ قَالَ قَالَتْ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي قَوْلِهِ لاَ، وَاللَّهِ بَلَى وَاللَّهِ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to me; Yahya narrated to us, from Hisham, who said: My father informed me, from Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, concerning the verse, Allah will not call you to account for idle oaths. She said: It was revealed about a person's saying, no, by Allah, and yes, by Allah.
