The Goodness of `A'ishah because She is married to the best of Mankind

Ibn `Abbas said, "Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are for evil words; good words are for good men and good men are for good words. This was revealed concerning `A'ishah and the people of the slander." This was also narrated from Mujahid, `Ata', Sa`id bin Jubayr, Ash-Sha`bi, Al-Hasan bin Abu Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Habib bin Abi Thabit and Ad-Dahhak, and it was also the view favored by Ibn Jarir. He interpreted it to mean that evil speech is more suited to evil people, and good speech is more suited to good people. What the hypocrites attributed to `A'ishah was more suited to them, and she was most suited to innocence and having nothing to do with them. Allah said:

أُوْلَـئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ

(such (good people) are innocent of (every) bad statement which they say;) `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said, "Evil women are for evil men and evil men are for evil women, and good women are for good men and good men are for good women." This also necessarily refers back to what they said, i.e., Allah would not have made `A'ishah the wife of His Messenger unless she had been good, because he is the best of the best of mankind. If she had been evil, she would not have been a suitable partner either according to His Laws or His decree. Allah said:

أُوْلَـئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ

(such are innocent of (every) bad statement which they say;) meaning, they are remote from what the people of slander and enmity say.

لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ

(for them is forgiveness,) means, because of the lies that were told about them,

وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ

(and honored provision.) meaning, with Allah in the Gardens of Delight. This implies a promise that she will be the wife of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Paradise.

Развратные мужчины и женщины, а также развратные слова и деяния всегда присущи друг другу. Они достойны друг друга, повязаны друг с другом и похожи друг на друга. Добропорядочные мужчины и женщины, а также благие слова и деяния тоже присущи друг другу. Они тоже достойны друг друга, повязаны друг с другом и похожи друг на друга. Смысл этого положения самый широкий, и оно не имеет исключений. А самыми яркими подтверждениями его справедливости являются Божьи пророки, и особенно твердые духом посланники, самым выдающимся из которых является господин всех посланников Пророк Мухаммад, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует. Он является лучшим из людей, и поэтому его женами могли быть только самые лучшие и праведные женщины. Что же касается обвинений Аиши в неверности, то фактически они были направлены против самого Пророка Мухаммада, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует, потому что именно этого добивались лицемеры. Однако она была супругой посланника Аллаха, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует, и одно только это свидетельствует о том, что она была чистой женщиной и не имела отношения к подобному порочному поступку. Да и как могло быть иначе, если Аиша была самой достойной, знающей и праведной женщиной?!! Она была возлюбленной посланника Господа миров. И даже божественное откровение ниспосылалось ему, когда он находился под ее покрывалом, хотя подобной чести не были удостоены остальные жены Пророка, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует. Затем Аллах окончательно прояснил этот вопрос и не оставил ни малейшей возможности опровергнуть истину или усомниться в ней. Всевышний поведал о том, что праведники непричастны к тому, что возводят на них клеветники. И эти слова в первую очередь относятся к Аише, а затем - ко всем верующим женщинам, которые далеки от греха и даже не помышляют о нем. Им уготованы прощение грехов и щедрое райское вознаграждение от Великодушного Господа.

الْخَبِيثَاتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَالْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَاتِ ۖ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَالطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَاتِ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ مُبَرَّ‌ءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ ۖ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَ‌ةٌ وَرِ‌زْقٌ كَرِ‌يمٌ ﴿26﴾

Vile women are for vile men, and vile men are for vile women. And good women are for good men and good men are for good women. Those are free from what they (the accusers) say. For them there is forgiveness and a graceful provision - 24:26.

It means that the vulgar women are suitable for vulgar men and the vulgar men are suitable for vulgar women. And pure women are worthy for pure men and pure men are worthy for pure women.

In this last verse the common principle is stated that Allah Ta’ ala has created a connection between the people of the same nature. Thus, vulgar and unchaste women are inclined towards vulgar and unchaste men and vice versa. Similarly, pure and chaste women show inclination towards pure and decent men and vice versa. Therefore, everyone tries to find the spouse according to one's inclination and liking, and in a natural way one does find one to suit him or her.

In the light of this norm and principle it is now quite clear that the messengers of Allah, who are the models of purity and chastity both outwardly and inwardly in this world, are granted spouses by Allah Ta’ ala in accordance with their status. Hence, the Holy Prophet ﷺ ، who is the head of all messengers, was bestowed with spouses who were befitting to his position and status in purity, chastity and ethical excellence, and Sayyidah ` A'ishah ؓ is more prominent among them all. Only those can have any doubt or suspicion about her who do not have faith in the Holy Prophet ﷺ himself. It is mentioned about the wives of Sayyidna Nuh and Sayyidna Lut (علیہم السلام) in the Qur'an that they (wives) were disbelievers, but it is also established that they were not involved in any obscenity or vulgarity. Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ said ما بغت امرأۃ نبی قطّ Never did any wife of a messenger commit adultery'. (ذکرفی الدر المنثور). It is, therefore, corroborated that it is possible that a messenger's wife could be a disbeliever, but it is not possible that she could be vulgar and sexually immoral, because adultery is a natural detestable act in the eyes of people, whereas disbelief is not a natural detestable thing. (Bayan al-Qur’ an)
