The silence of Aeshe against abuse to Amir Momenan( peace be upon him):
عن عَطَاءِ بن يَسَارٍ قال جاء رَجُلٌ فَوَقَعَ في علي وفي عَمَّارٍ رضي الله عنهما عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فقالت أَمَّا علي فَلَسْتُ قَائِلَةً لك فيه شَيْئاً واما عَمَّارٌ فإني سمعت رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول لاَ يُخَيَّرُ بين أَمْرَيْنِظالا اخْتَارَ أَرْشَدَهُمَاMosnad Ahmad Ben Hanbal, v 6 p 113 hadith 24864
It has been narrated from Ata Ben Yasar that a person came to Aeshe and abused Ali and Amar in the presence of Aeshe. Then Aeshe said '' I do not admonish you in relation to your abuse to Ali, but I heard that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) bade about Amar '' if he is allowed to choose one job from two jobs, he will choose the best one''.
The abuse of Aeshe to Zeinab , the daughter of Jaheh and the wife of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants), and Ahle Beit (peace be upon them):
As it was already said, an unusual narration has been said that the wives of the of messenger of God were jealous of Aeshe due to the excessive affection of Hazrat Muhammad toward Aeshe and they had HazratFateme Zahra go to her father so that she talks to her father and wants him to bhave his wives fairly.The messenger of God talked to Fateme Zahra and he convinced her. Other women are jealous of her. Zeinab, the daughter of Jahesh that is one of wives of Hazrat Muhammad came to Hazrat Fateme and abused Aeshe in her presence. In this time, the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) ordered Aeshe '' O' Aeshe! Abuse her''.
When Aeshe could abuse Zeinab Bent Jahesh, the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) said happily ''she is the daughter of Abu Bakr''.
... فَأَرْسَلْنَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ فَأَتَتْهُ فَأَغْلَظَتْ وَقَالَتْ إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ يَنْشُدْنَكَ اللَّهَ الْعَدْلَ في بِنْتِ بن أبي قُحَافَةَ فَرَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا حتى تَنَاوَلَتْ عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ قَاعِدَةٌ فَسَبَّتْهَا حتى إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيَنْظُرُ إلى عَائِشَةَ هل تَكَلَّمُ قال فَتَكَلَّمَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَرُدُّ على زَيْنَبَ حتى أَسْكَتَتْهَا قالت فَنَظَرَ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى عَائِشَةَ وقال إِنَّهَا بِنْتُ أبي بَكْرٍ
Sahih Al-Bokhari, v 2 p 911 no 2442, Ketab Al-Habat, chapter Min AhdaiElaSahebevaTaharraiBazaNesaeheDunaBaze
She (Zeinab , the daughter ofJahesh) came to the prophet and talked to him impertinently and said '' your wives want you to behave them fairly'' and she raised her voice. Then she said to Aeshe when she had sat, she abused her as much as the prophet looked at Aeshe and bade '' do you want to answer her back?'' Aeshe started answering her back as long as she made her shut.
The prophet looked at Aeshe and bade '' she is the daughter of Abu Bakr''.
Mosalam has said this narration with little difference in its content
... قالت عَائِشَةُ فَأَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ زَوْجَ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ... فقالت يا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ في ابْنَةِ أبي قُحَافَةَ قالت ثُمَّ وَقَعَتْ بِي فَاسْتَطَالَتْ على وأنا أَرْقُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَرْقُبُ طَرْفَهُ هل يَأْذَنُ لي فيها قالت فلم تَبْرَحْ زَيْنَبُ حتى عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ قالت فلما وَقَعْتُ بها لم أَنْشَبْهَا حين أَنْحَيْتُ عليها قالت فقال رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتَبَسَّمَ إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أبي بَكْرٍ
Sahih Moslem, v 4 p 1891 no 2442, KetabFazael Al-Sahabe, chapter Fi FazlAyeshe
The wives of the prophet had Zeinab (the daughter of Jahesh) go to Hazrat Muhammad. She said '' O'The messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants)" your wives have had me come to you and they want you to behave to Aeshe fairly and then she (Zeinab) abused me for a long time.
I (Aeshe) looked at the messenger of God in order to understand whether he pointed to me with his eyes or not.
I understood that the prophet would like me to answer her back.
I abused Zeinab and said such harsh words that she said nothing more.
The messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) said happily ''she is the daughter of Abu Bakr''.
EbnDavud narrates this narration in the following way that the prophet bade to Aeshe to abuse Zeinab and Aeshe abused not only Zeinab, but also she abused the family of Amir Momenan.
قال ابن عَوْنٍ: وَزَعَمُوا أنها كانت تَدْخُلُ على أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قالت: قالت أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ : دخل عَلَيَّ رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعِنْدَنَا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ فَجَعَلَ يَصْنَعُ شيئاً بيده فقلت: بيده حتى فَطَّنْتُهُ لها فَأَمْسَكَ وَأَقْبَلَتْ زَيْنَبُ تُقَحِّمُ لِعَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها فَنَهَاهَا فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ فقال لِعَائِشَةَ: سُبِّيهَا فَسَبَّتْهَا فَغَلَبَتْهَا فَانْطَلَقَتْ زَيْنَبُ إلى عَلِيٍّ رضي الله عنه فقالت: إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها وَقَعَتْ بِكُمْ وَفَعَلَتْ فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فقال لها إِنَّهَا حِبَّةُ أَبِيكِ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَانْصَرَفَتْ ...
Sonan Abi Davood, v 4 p 274 no 4898
EbnUn, scientists believe that she went to Aeshe, narrates that Aeshe said '' one day the prophet came to me and Zeinab, the daughter of Jahesh, was with us as well. The messenger of God did something with his hand (it was not appropriate in the presence of Zeinab). I pointed to the messenger of God with my hand and I informed him from the presence of Zeinab.
Zeianb came to Aeshe and she started abusing him. The messenger of God prevented her from this action, but she did not accept it. Therefore, the messenger of God said to Aeshe '' abuse her as well''. Aeshe abuse Zeinab and her abuse was worse than the abuse of Zeinab.
Zeinab came to Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and she said '' Aeshe abused you ''. HazratFateme came to the prophet and he bade to her '' I swear the God of Mecca that Aeshe is my lover''. Therefore, Fateme came back.
It is clear that such narration has been falsified for virtue of Aeshe , but for what worth has such narration been falsified?
The abuse of Aeshe to Usman Ben Afan:
Usman Ben Uf was one of persons that was abused by Aeshe. In this matter, there are a lot of narrations in the Sunni books:
Aeshe was the first person that called Usman '' Nasal''!
1- لما انتهت عائشة رضي الله عنها إلى سرف راجعة في طريقها إلى مكة لقيها عبد بن أم كلاب وهو عبد بن أبي سلمة ينسب إلى أمه فقالت له مهيم قال قتلوا عثمان رضي الله عنه فمكثوا ثمانيا قالت ثم صنعوا ماذا قال أخذها أهل المدينة بالاجتماع فجازت بهم الأمور إلى خير مجاز اجتمعوا على علي بن أبي طالب فقالت والله ليت أن هذه انطبقت على هذه أن تم الأمر لصاحبك ردوني ردوني فانصرفت إلى مكة وهي تقول قتل والله عثمان مظلوما والله لأطلبن بدمه فقال لها ابن أم كلاب ولم فوالله إن أول من أمال حرفه لأنت ولقد كنت تقولين اقتلوا نعثلا فقد كفر قالت إنهم استتابوه ثم قتلوه وقد قلت وقالوا وقولي الاخير خير من قولي الأول فقال لها ابن أم كلاب :
فمنك البداء ومنك الغير ومنك الرياح ومنك المطر
وأنت أمرت بقتل الإمام وقلت لنا إنه قد كفر
فهبنا أطعناك في قتله وقاتله عندنا من أمر
ولم يسقط السيف من فوقنا ولم تنكسف شمسنا والقمر
Al-FetnatvaVaghaa Al-Jamal, v 1 p 115, Al-Emamat Al-Siyasat , v 1 p 48, Tarikh Al-Tabari , v 3 p 12, Al-Kamel Fi Al-Tarikh, v 3 p 100, TarikhMokhtasar Al-Doval, v 1 p 55, Al-Fakhri Fi Al-Adab Al-Soltaniye, v 1 p 29
When Aeshe was coming back from Mecca to Saraf, she saw Abd Ben Um Kalab there. Then he said to her '' I have got important news; Usman has been killed. Hence, they stayed there for eight days. Aeshe asked '' what did they do then?
He answered '' they did what they were supposed to do; they got together around Ali''.
Aeshe said '' I wish the sky had fallen on the earth; Imam Ali (peace be upon him) has not sworn allegiance with them''.
She made me come back. Then she moved toward Mecca and she was saying '' I swear God that they killed innocently!!! I swear God that I will revenge of his blood!!!
Then Ebn Um Kelab said to her '' how will you revenge of his blood? I swear God that you were the first person that changed the name of Usman!!! You used to say '' kill Nasal (Jewish old man/ Usman) that has become unbeliever''.
Aeshe said '' he made him repent before he killed him''.
It is right that I said such remarks, but my current remarks are better than my previous remarks!!!
Then Ebn Um Kalab said to her
'' You started all of backgrounds of the murder of Usman, but you want to change such a situation''!!!
All of wind and rains were from you (all of storms started from you);
You ordered to kill the Imam;
You said to us that Usman had become unbeliever;
We obeyed you to kill him;
His murderer is the same person that ordered to kill him;
Because he was killed, sword did not fall from the sky to kill us and the sun and the moon did not darken (it implies that Usman was not killed innocently).
2- أولمنسمّىعثماننعثلاًعائشة
The first person that called Usman Nasal (Jewish old man) was Aeshe.
Usman had been Nasal before he was killed and after the innocent person was murdered!
1- أن عثمان رضي الله عنه أخر عن عائشة رضي الله عنها بعض أرزاقها فغضبت ثم قالت يا عثمان أكلت أمانتك وضيعت الرعية ...
فقال عثمان رضي الله عنه ضرب الله مثلا للذين كفروا امرأة نوح وامرأة لوط الآية فكانت عائشة رضي الله عنها تحرض عليه جهدها وطاقتها وتقول أيها الناس هذا قميص رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لم يبل وقد بليت سنته اقتلوا نعثلا قتل الله نعثلا
ثم إن عائشة ذهبت إلى مكة فلما قضت حجها وقربت من المدينة أخبرت بقتل عثمان فقالت ثم ماذا فقالوا بايع الناس علي بن أبي طالب فقالت عائشة قتل عثمان والله مظلوما وأنا طالبة بدمه والله ليوم من عثمان خير من علي الدهر كله
Al-MahsulRazi, v 4 p 492
Usman delayed paying the monthly share of Aeshe. Therefore, she became angry and said '' you ate the right of people and killed people and …
Usman said to her '' God introduced two women to the unbelievers, the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut (two wives of the prophet; you are like them).
Therefore, Aeshe tried against Usman a lot and said '' O' people! This is the garment of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) that has not been worn out, but they have abolished his tradition. Kill him and God kills him as well''.
Aeshe went to Mecca. When her hajj finished and arrived around Mecca, she informed that Usman had been killed. She asked '' then what happened?'' they said '' they have sworn allegiance with Ali''.
Then Aeshe said '' I swear God that they killed Usman whereas he was innocent. I swear God that I will revenge his murderer. One day, the life of Usman was better than the life of people all over the world ''.
2- ومنه حديث عائشة اقتلوا نعثلا قتل الله نعثلا تعني عثمان وهذا كان منها لما غاضبته وذهبت إلى مكة
Al-Nahayat Fi Gharib Al-AtharIbnAthir, v 5 p 79, Lesan Al-Arab, v 11 p 670, Taj Al-Aroos, v 31 p 14
In such case,Aeshe said '' kill Nasal and God kills him. His purpose was Usman. She said such sentence when she had gone Mecca and she was angry with Usman.
3- وكتب لعائشة رضي الله عنها أما بعد فإنك قد خرجت من بيتك تزعمين أنك تريدين الإصلاح بين المسلمين وطلبت بزعمك دم عثمان وأنت بالأمس تؤلبين عليه فتقولين في ملا من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اقتلوا نعثلا فقد كفر قتله الله واليوم تطلبين بثأره فاتقى الله وارجعي إلى بيتك وأسبلي عليك سترك قبل أن يفضحك الله ولا حول ولا قوة إلى بالله العلي العظيم
Al-Sirat Al-Halabiye, v 3 p 356
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) wrote a letter to Aeshe '' you have left your house and you think you can train people. You also think you want to revenge the murderer of Usman. You used to provoke people against Usman and said among the companions of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) '' kill Nasal that has become unbeliever. God kills him''.
But you have decided to kill the murderer of Usman.
Fear from God and come back home. Cover yourself with veil before God scandalizes you.
ولا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم
Lack of preventing from abusing Usman by Aeshe
Some persons cursed Usman in the presence of Aeshe, but she did not prevent them;
عن أبي سعيد أن ناسا كانوا عند فسطاط عائشة فمر عثمان إذ ذاك بمكة قال أبو سعيد: فما بقي أحد منهم إلا لعنه أو سبّه غيري وكان فيهم رجل من أهل الكوفة فكان عثمان على الكوفي أجرأ منه على غيره فقال يا كوفي أشتهى أقدم المدينة كأنه يتهدده ...
MosnefIbnAbiSheibe , v 6 p 196 no 30628, v 7 p 518 no 37684
It was narrated from Abu Saeid that some people were near the tent of Aeshe and Usman crossed by them; all of them, except me, cursed Usman. One of them was from Kufe and Usman had more courage against him. Then he said '' O! Kufi! I would like you to come Medina and to threaten me with this sentence!!!...
The abuse of Aeshe to Safie( the wife of the messenger of God):
أخبرنا محمد بن عمر أخبرنا محمد بن عبد الله بن جعفر عن بن أبي عون قال قالت عائشة كنت أستب أنا وصفية فسببت أباها فسبت أبي وسمعه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا صفية تسبين أبا بكر يا صفية تسبين أبا بكر
Al-Tabaghat Al-Kobra, v 8 p 80, Muhammad Ben Sad Ben Mani Abu Abdullah Al-Basari Al-Zahari (died in 230), Published by: Dar Sader, Beirut
Aeshe said '' Safie and I were abusing each other. I abused her father and she abused my father. The messenger of God heard her remark and said '' O' Safie! are you abusing Abu Bakr?
