Aishah bint Abi Bakrعائشة بنت أبي بكر
Approximate dateMadinah
Daughter of Abu Bakr, wife of the Prophet ﷺ and one of the greatest teachers of Islam.
Aishah grew up in a Muslim home and married the Prophet ﷺ in Madinah. When she was slandered, Allah cleared her name in verses of Surah al-Nur. The Prophet ﷺ died in her room, with his head on her lap. For nearly fifty years after, senior Companions came to her with questions of law, Quran and Sunnah.
What does the Quran say?
Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof - for him is a great punishment.
Quran 24:11
