عَنْ عائِشَةَ ، قالَتْ : كانَ رَسولُ الله صَلّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّمَ إِذا أَمَرَهُمْ ، أَمَرَهُمْ مِنَ الأَعْمالِ بِما يُطِيقُونَ ، قالوا : إِنّا لَسْنَا كَهَيْئَتِكَ يا رَسولَ اللهِ ، إِنّ الله قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ ما تَقَدّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَما تَأَخّرَ ، فَيَغْضَبُ حَتّى يُعْرَفُ الغَضَبُ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، ثُمّ يَقُولُ : إِنّ أَتْقاكُمْ وَأَعْلَمَكُمْ بِالله أَنا On the authority of Aishah, she said, “The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, when he used to order them, would order them to do something they were capable of doing, but they say, “Messenger of God!

Arabic verbs related to the idea of expressing something, like ذكر to mention or زعم to assert, are followed by the particle أنّ that.
