Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This is a lengthy incident; its account is present in twelve or thirteen verses of Surah An-Nur. This event indicates the honor and greatness of Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha. The three individuals who were flogged as punishment for the accusation were Muslims. Their names are: Sayyiduna Mistah, Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit, and Sayyidah Hamnah bint Jahsh radi Allahu anhum. Imam Hakim has narrated in "Al-Iklil" a narration from which it is understood that among those upon whom the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam carried out the punishment for the accusation was also the chief of the hypocrites, Abdullah bin Ubayy.
