Abu Dhar Jundub bin Junadah and Abu Abdul Rahman Mu'adh bin Jabal, radiyallahu anhuma, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:
"Fear Allah wherever you may be; follow up an evil deed with a good one which will wipe (the former) out, and behave good-naturedly towards people."
[Al-Tirmidhi relates it, saying: It is a good (hasan) Tradition. In some copies he says: It is a good and genuine (hasan and sahih) Hadith.]

She didn't know she had fallen asleep till she felt a light tap. She opened her eyes to come face to face with her brothers, they were sitting in the bed close to her both with sympathetic look on their faces.
"We heard what happened" Abdulraheem said.
She immediately hugged both of them in a group hug and then she started sobbing. "I didn't do that" she kept repeating though it came out muffled.
"We know" Abdulrahman said rubbing her back.
She raised her head from his shoulder and looked at both of them with questioning eyes. "You know?"
"Yes, we know that you'll never do anything like that, haba, we know you much to know you'll never do anything like that" they gave her a comforting smile.
"But Abba, doesn't believe me. He and Hajiya Iya thought I did that" she sobbed.
"Don't worry we are going to help you to find the truth, but you have to tell us everything"
And so she told them whatever happened and by the end Abdulrahman was pacing back and forth his hands in a tight fist. "I'll fucking destroy that son of a bitch, if I see him" he swore, looking angry.
"Calm down, will you?" Abdulraheem turned to him. "First we have to go to the mall and check out the camera, maybe we will get something from there" he said.
They both gave her a kiss on the cheeks and ran out of the room muttering about going to the mall.
She went and took a bath, when she came out all dressed she felt a little bit better, in a way. Her food was on the table when she came out, she had been scared to go out so she ordered for her food to be brought to her room.
She sat down and ate the food in silence, until the door to her room opened and Hajiya Iya stood. She didn't bother to knock, like she owned the room.
She sat on the one-sitter sofa in the room, Aysha was quietly looking at her wondering what her next move was.
"We talked with Fahad earlier, about you, we told him all that had happened. We made a decision not to let many people know, but we had to tell Fahad, after all he is your future husband and he needs to know the things his wife has done" Hajiya Iya looked disgusted as she said the last part. "We also discussed with Ibrahim about the wedding date, though we didn't tell him the real reason. The wedding is going to be in ten days"
Hajiya Iya studied Aysha wanting to see if she could object, when she was sure she wasn't going to say anything she went out of the room, with nothing as much as a goodbye.
How could someone this old be so infuriating, frustrating, irritating amongst other words.
She let out a deep sigh and buried her face in her hands. She blamed the blackmailer for all this things if it wasn't for him at least she would've had more time to prepare for the godforsaken wedding, she wouldn't have had a misunderstanding with her dad and Hajiya Iya couldn't have found another reason to belittle her, there wouldn't have been any need for this denigration. She hated him.

"We've got a problem" Abdulrahman said to Fahad, as he answered the phone call.
"What is it?" He asked feeling nervous all of a sudden.
"Just come to the mall, we'll talk there" he said. He hoped they didn't know about the blackmail, because nothing good will come out of it if they knew.
Earlier he had a talk Hajiya Iya and uncle Ismail, they said something her gallivanting around, but deep down he knew she couldn't have done something like that and when they showed him the video he just couldn't believe it. But after replaying the video for the umpteenth time, something just didn't add up.
But then he had his suspicions and when he went to Adnan he impertinently told him all that had happened. How he had threatened and blackmailed her, Fahad had never been that angry, but at the same time he felt guilty. Even if he didn't want to admit it, it was his fault, he was the one that gave him the go-ahead, he should've known that he was going to do something this bad, he should've never trusted him not to do something illegal.
Fahad punched him but he knew that no matter how much he punched him the truth still remained he had defamed her and the only way her reputation could be salvaged was if they found the real video, the unedited one.
Fahad quickly got inside one of his cars and drove to his destination. He met with them at entrance and they exchanged pleasantries before he asked them the reason why they called him.
They started explaining to him about the blackmail before he cut them off stating that he knew. Their work was made easier because they no longer have to waste time explaining so they headed to the security room to see if they could get the CCTV tape. The place was dark when they entered and one wall was lined up with screens showing the activities going on outside the room. The security team on surveillance were inside too.
"What were you doing when it happened, didn't you see it, what's your job?" Abdulraheem said barely restraining his anger.
"We're very sorry sir, there was an interference, the screen was static but we didn't think anything of it because it came back minutes later" the security officer said.
"What's your use if you are not even doing your job, then I see no need for you guys" Abdulrahman bursted out. Both the brothers were angry while Fahad stood in the corner silent. He looked down with a deep frown on his face, guilt was eating him away, the twins were stressing out and he didn't know what to do, he really wanted to tell them the truth but he just didn't know how they'll take it.
"Let me make a phone call to see if anything could be done, we need this tape" Abdulrahman went out of the room his phone clutched to his hand.
"Me too" Abdulraheem said following his brother out.
Fahad looked at the door they just exited from and made up his mind to tell them everything irrespective of their reaction, he knew whatever they'll do to him he deserved it, because it was all his fault.
He exited the room to look for the twins and then he found them at the hallway of the room. Abdulrahman dropped the call with a hiss while Abdulraheem was still on a call.
"Guys, I need to tell you something"
