The consequences of the Incident of the Slander (al-Ifk) serve as an example of the Sunnah of Allah intending good for the believers.
0:16
Among the practical examples illustrating this Sunnah:
0:20
Mentioning the aspects of good that resulted from the Incident of the Slander.
0:24
Among these are:
0:26
First:
0:27
The attainment by the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:31
And his chaste and pure wife, the Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,
0:36
And her father, the Truthful (al-Siddiq), may Allah be pleased with him,
0:39
Of a great reward.
0:42
This is the recompense for their patience regarding the harm they suffered from this slander and fabrication.
0:49
Second:
0:50
The emergence of the false accusation into the open.
0:53
This prevented the accusation from remaining hidden in the hearts of some,
0:57
And the resulting skepticism toward the religion
1:00
That would have arisen from whispering slanders against its carriers.
1:04
Third:
1:05
The revelation of the verses following the story of the Slander,
1:09
Which exonerated Lady ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
1:13
This was a great honor for her and for the family of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him,
1:18
As they were distinguished by verses praising them that will be recited until the Day of Resurrection.
1:24
Fourth:
1:25
Another aspect of this honor is
1:27
That the revelation of these verses became a defining marker in the matters of disbelief and faith.
1:34
For anyone who slanders Lady ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, regarding the Slander
1:39
Becomes a disbeliever for denying verses from the Noble Qur’an.
1:45
Fifth:
1:46
The delay of revelation in responding to the story of the Slander for an entire month
1:51
Provides evidence that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not possess knowledge of the unseen.
1:56
For had he known, he would have announced the innocence of his wife from the very beginning,
2:02
Without the harm and suffering he endured from the slanders against her, may Allah be pleased with her.
2:09
Thus, it is forbidden for Muslims to exaggerate regarding the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
2:15
Or to claim that he possessed knowledge of the unseen.
2:18
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
