Why was it not that the believing men and women, when you heard it, thought good of their own people, and had said, "This is a clear accusation"?

Yusuf Ali:
Why did not the believers - men and women - when ye heard of the affair,- put the best construction on it in their own minds and say, "This (charge) is an obvious lie"?

Pickthal:
Why did not the believers, men and women, when ye heard it, think good of their own own folk, and say: It is a manifest untruth?
