Summary/Abstract: The Almighty Allah has raised His messengers as well as their followers through memorable events and temptations which provided corrective measures and the benefits that will never be forgotten. He did not send any of the messengers except that he was accused of being a lunatic or a mad poet, magician, prophet, etc. In this way the disbelievers, polytheists, idolaters of Quraysh , on the peak of all messengers' mission, have spoken about Muhammad, peace be upon him, waiting for an opportunity to harm him in any way, spike him physically or morally, both his reputation and morale or his family . Just one in a series of such attacks is the event "ifka-a " (hadis al-ifk) in which they wanted to degrade Allah's Messenger morally and psychologically by slandering his wife, mother of believers, Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq. After a month of terrible anguish and discomfort, which had an impact not only on both Allah's Messenger and Aisha, but also on her family and the whole newly formed Muslim society, Allah sent revelation proving the innocence of Aisha. The revealed verses provided educational measures and guidelines which continue to tread the Muslim society after these terrible events, but also pointed out the benefits of all these events through the disclosure and discovery of what Muslims did not know and that is that among them lived hidden hypocrites, indicating that there are those who are not sincere believers. This event disintegrated Muslim society into two categories: sincere believers, the faithful, who kept the truth and those who are not, but they pretended that they are believers and used their hidden nifaq and hypocrisy for attacks on islam and the believers.
