How did the Sahaba Reacted to this Matter - Incident of IKF

How did the Sahaba React to this matter, when the Prophet (s) publicly announced his displeasure?


Ibn al Hashimi states:


The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) then tried to vindicate Aisha’s honor (رضّى الله عنها) by calling everyone to the mosque and publicly defending her reputation, but the hypocrites who had started the trouble in the first place only made matters worse, so that arguments broke out all over the mosque, and people had almost come to blows over the matter before the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) calmed them down and silenced them.

The dispute that broke out was an unholy row between the Khazraj and Aus, what should we assume of all those that disregarded the integrity of Ayesha and preferred to exploit the matter into a complete tribal dispute? The blows over the matter had nothing to do with protecting the decency of Ayesha it was all to do with protecting one’s tribal lineage, and protecting those that slandered Ayesha, is this not shameless? It was not a handful of people, had that been the case an almighty tribal war would not have broken out in the manner that it did. Is it also not shameless that the loyal Sahaba totally lost interest for what the Prophet (s) had stated? Is it not amazing that everyone is summoned in the mosque and not a single Sahabi shows consideration for the words of the Prophet (s) and the order issued by him? Doesn’t Ibn al-Hashimi always sing praises over the brave loyal Sahaba that would implement every order of the Prophet (s) forthwith? In another article

Ibn al Hashimi proclaimed:


The Shia propagandists slander the Prophet’s wife, Aisha. It should be noted, however, that the Munafiqoon (Hypocrites) and Kufaar (Disbelievers) have always sought to hurt the Prophet by slandering his wife; as such, there is nothing new in the Shia tactics. During the lifetime of the Prophet, many of the enemies of Islam hurt the Prophet by slandering his wife, and this pained the Prophet very much. The Prophet said:
“Who would exonerate me from the accusations of that person who has troubled me in regards to my family? By Allah, I find nothing in my wife but goodness!”
(Sahih Muslim, Book 37, Number 6673)

The Prophet has asked who will exonerate him from the accusations made against his wife. It will be the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah that will do that, Insha-Allah!

Ibn al Hashimi might well be insisting that this mantle of defending Ayesha has been taken by the Ahl’ul Sunnah, but it certainly was not one grasped the Salaf that his cult professes to adhere to. The partial citation of the sermon that Ibn al Hashimi quoted relates to the very sermon under discussion, and yet the Sahaba present failed to display even a remote level of exuberance to defend Ayesha from the serious allegation that had been made against her. When the Salaf cared little for defending Ayesha, what gives Ibn al Hashimi the mandate to depart from the path trodden by them? Not a single one of these loyal Sahaba had the decency to implement the request of the Prophet (s). Where was the respect for Rasulullah (s) and the honour for Ayesha here? Why did not a single Sahabi present therein rise to implement the order of Rasulullah (s)? Where for example was the loyal Umar ibn al Khattab, who would always have his sword aloft in non-war scenarios to defend the honour of Rasulullah (s)?

Ibn al Hashimi states:


The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) said to Abdullah ibn Ubayy, leader of the Munafiqoon: “O Muslims, who will deal with a man [i.e. Abdullah ibn Ubayy] who I have heard is speaking in an offensive manner about my family? By Allah, I know nothing but good about my family.” [Bukhari, Muslim]

First and foremost the Nasibi has intentionally relayed the event backwards. The tribal dispute broke out following the said comments of Rasulullah (s) not before. Why has he not informed his readership of this fact? Why has he failed to point out the complete disregard the Sahaba had for the words of Rasulullah (s)?
  • When the Prophet (s) publicly asked for retribution against the man responsible for spreading the slander, why was this not followed through?
  • Why did this turn into a tribal row wherein the propagator of the lie was afforded protection?
  • In this day and age we see the defenders of Ayesha automatically jump up to defend Ayesha from any criticism levelled against her of her conduct, but yet when the Prophet (s) asks that action be brought against those slandering Ayesha, the Sahaba do nothing, rather they completely forget about the matter and instead deem settling old tribal scores to be more important, is this not truly shameful?
  • When the situation calmed down the Prophet (s) abandoned further talk on the matter, is this not evidence that it was clear to him that they had no interest in respecting him or protecting the honour of his wife?
  • Why did the Prophet (s) only vent his frustration at ‘Abdullah bin Ubai (bin Salul) when others were also spreading these lies?
  • Why didn’t the Prophet (s) simply place ‘Abdullah bin Ubai (bin Salul) on trial?
  • Why didn’t the parents of Ayesha bring a libel claim against ‘Abdullah bin Ubai (bin Salul), to be decided by the Prophet (s)?
  • Saad bin Ubada, chief of Al-Khazraj sought to protect Abdullah bin Ubaii and a tribal dispute broke out, why did that occur?
  • After Sad bin Mu’adh responded to the call of the Prophet, why did Sad bin Ubadah get up, followed by Usaid bin Haidar why did all this happen?
  • Usaid bin Hudair says to Sad bin ‘Ubada, “…you are a hypocrite arguing on the behalf of hypocrites” – so who were these hypocrites that he was alluding to?
  • Who were those that were raising their voices and behaving so atrociously in the presence of the Prophet (s)?
  • Were these from amongst the Sahaba of the Prophet or some other group?
  • If they were Sahaba who were they, believers or hypocrites?
  • If it comprised of both believers and hypocrites where did these individuals go following the death of the Prophet (s)?
  • When these individuals conducted themselves so atrociously before the Prophet (s) did they just disappear after his death, or had their objective been attained by that point?
