An-Nur 24:23

<h2>A Threat to Those who accuse Chaste Women, Who never even think of anything touching their Chastity and are Good Believers</h2><p>This is a warning and threat from Allah to those who accuse chaste women, who never even think of anything effecting their chastity since they are good believers. The Mothers of the believers are more entitled to be included in this category than any other chaste woman, especially the one who was the reason for this Ayah being revealed: `A'ishah bint As-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with them both. All of the scholars agree that whoever slanders her or makes accusations against after what has been said in this Ayah, is a disbeliever, because of his being obstinate with the Qur'an. The same ruling applies to all of the Mothers of the believers.</p><p>لُعِنُواْ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالاٌّخِرَةِ</p><p>(are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter,) This is like the Ayah:</p><p>إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ</p><p>(Verily, those who annoy Allah and His Messenger,) 33:57 `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said, "This is about `A'ishah, and whoever does anything similar nowadays to Muslim women, the same applies to him, but `A'ishah is the one who is primarily referred to here." Ibn Abi Hatim recorded …

Lo! as for those who traduce virtuous, believing women (who are) careless, cursed are they in the world and the Hereafter. Theirs will be an awful doom

Those who slander chaste women, indiscreet but believing, are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter: for them is a grievous Penalty,-

Verily, those who accuse chaste women, who never even think of anything touching their chastity and are good believers, are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter, and for them will be a great torment,

Those who slander honorable, innocent, believing women are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter. They will have a terrible punishment.
