00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,800
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:16,820
The consequences of the Incident of the Slander (al-Ifk) serve as an example of the Sunnah of Allah intending good for the believers.

3
00:00:16,820 --> 00:00:20,820
Among the practical examples illustrating this Sunnah:

4
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:24,820
Mentioning the aspects of good that resulted from the Incident of the Slander.

5
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:26,820
Among these are:

6
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:27,820
First:

7
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:31,820
The attainment by the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

8
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:36,820
And his chaste and pure wife, the Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,

9
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:39,820
And her father, the Truthful (al-Siddiq), may Allah be pleased with him,

10
00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:42,820
Of a great reward.

11
00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:49,109
This is the recompense for their patience regarding the harm they suffered from this slander and fabrication.

12
00:00:49,109 --> 00:00:50,109
Second:

13
00:00:50,109 --> 00:00:53,109
The emergence of the false accusation into the open.

14
00:00:53,109 --> 00:00:57,109
This prevented the accusation from remaining hidden in the hearts of some,

15
00:00:57,109 --> 00:01:00,109
And the resulting skepticism toward the religion

16
00:01:00,109 --> 00:01:04,109
That would have arisen from whispering slanders against its carriers.

17
00:01:04,109 --> 00:01:05,370
Third:

18
00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:09,370
The revelation of the verses following the story of the Slander,

19
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:13,370
Which exonerated Lady ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.

20
00:01:13,370 --> 00:01:18,370
This was a great honor for her and for the family of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him,

21
00:01:18,370 --> 00:01:24,689
As they were distinguished by verses praising them that will be recited until the Day of Resurrection.

22
00:01:24,689 --> 00:01:25,689
Fourth:

23
00:01:25,689 --> 00:01:27,689
Another aspect of this honor is

24
00:01:27,689 --> 00:01:34,689
That the revelation of these verses became a defining marker in the matters of disbelief and faith.

25
00:01:34,689 --> 00:01:39,689
For anyone who slanders Lady ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, regarding the Slander

26
00:01:39,689 --> 00:01:45,909
Becomes a disbeliever for denying verses from the Noble Qur’an.

27
00:01:45,909 --> 00:01:46,909
Fifth:

28
00:01:46,909 --> 00:01:51,909
The delay of revelation in responding to the story of the Slander for an entire month

29
00:01:51,909 --> 00:01:56,909
Provides evidence that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not possess knowledge of the unseen.

30
00:01:56,909 --> 00:02:02,909
For had he known, he would have announced the innocence of his wife from the very beginning,

31
00:02:02,909 --> 00:02:09,909
Without the harm and suffering he endured from the slanders against her, may Allah be pleased with her.

32
00:02:09,909 --> 00:02:15,909
Thus, it is forbidden for Muslims to exaggerate regarding the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

33
00:02:15,909 --> 00:02:18,909
Or to claim that he possessed knowledge of the unseen.

34
00:02:18,909 --> 00:02:23,490
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
