An Evaluation on the Event Ifk
Abstract
It was Muhammads custom to take one or more of h’s wives with him on his
expeditions. On this expedition (Benu Mustalik) A’ishah was in party. At the last halt before
they arrived back in Medina she had withdrawn out of sight for a little. A necklace dropped in
the sand, however had kept her longer than she had intended, and when she returned to the
camp all had departed. She was so light that the men who not in it. She had then lain down
to wait till someone came back for her. She was roused, however, by a Muslim Safwan
b.Muattal came. He discreetly placed her on his camel and led her back to army.
Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy did what he could to magnify the scandal. In this he had some
strange helpers, both men and women who were apparently had some personal grıdge against
A’ishah or her family. The scandal kept growing for wekks till matters came to head. It might have
caused a serious rift in the Islamic community. Eventually the question of fact was decided by
Muhammad in favour of A’ishah. There was no solid evidence against her. It remained to deal
with those who slandered her in what came to be known as ‘the affair of the lie’ in hıstory islamic.
