بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

A group of ‘munafiqs’ (hypocrits), who seemed to be Muslim but in fact were not, always looked for the things/incidents to disturb the life of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and his companions on every possible occasion. They could even dare to insult and malign his clean private life.

The Incident of Ifk is the slander by Abdullah bin Ubai, the leader of the hypocrites, against Aisha bint Abi Bakr (r.a.).. When the march for return from Banu Mustaliq was ordered, Aisha (r.a.) was not in her tent, having gone to search for a necklace she had dropped (which was given to her by her Mother). As the chamber, in which she was travelling, was veiled and her absence was not noticed until the army reached the next stop for rest. When Aisha (r.a.) found that the army convoy had gone, she stayed there and sat down to rest, hoping that someone would come back to fetch her when her absence was noticed. It was night and she fell asleep. Next morning, she was found by Safwan ibn Al-Muattal (ra), who always stayed behind the army and checked if there was anything left behind and then took those things to the army. He put her on his camel while leading the camel on foot and started to walk quickly to catch up with the army. They could not catch up with the soldiers for a long time.

Finally, Safwan brought her back to Prophet (PBUH) at the army's next camp. This presented an occasion to the Prophet's enemies to raise a malicious scandal against Aisha (r.a.) ‘Mother of Believers’... Abdullah ibn Ubai, along with other hypocrites, wanted to make use of this simple incident. He expressed his evil intention by saying, “By God, neither Aisha nor Sawfan will be saved from the punishment.” He uttered many other mean sentences. He spread false rumor among the soldiers of the army and the army was shaken up by the rumor.

When army and convoy reached Madinah, Aisha (r.a.) fell terribly sick with fever. Nana Aisha was in extreme pain and anguish for an entire month because of the slander that was spread about her. Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) and Aisha’s parents also heard about the event but they never told her anything.

In fact, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) knew very well that Aisha, his wife, was free from such slander. However, he was depressed that such false, sly and planned slander spread among people. The speech that he made in the mosque expressed it clearly: 

*“O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed me by slandering my wife? By Allah, I find nothing in my wife but goodness and the person whom the people have mentioned in this connection is thoroughly a pious person.”* 📚[Sahih Muslim: 2770 (a)]

Nana Aisha (r.a.) was neither afraid nor worried about these rumors. She knew that she was innocent and that Allah would not treat her unjustly. Her parents were very scared because they were worried that the rumors would be confirmed by Allah. 📚[Ref. Sahih Muslim: 2770 (a)]

Then,

Allah (swt) sent Revelation to the Prophet (PBUH) to wash Nana Aʾishah off the allegations:
