The anxiety suffered by an innocent person when false accusations are made. An example of this is what happened to ‘A’ishah (RZ) when Munafiqun accused her of sin during the campaign of Muraysi’. She was ill, when she heard the news of the rumours from one of the women of her household, she became even sicker, and felt very distressed. She said; ‘I said subban-Allah! Are people talking about that?’ I wept all night, until morning and never slept; my tears never stopped falling. Then I wept all day, and never slept; my tears never stopped falling. My parents came to me the next morning after I had cried for two nights and a day, without ceasing and without sleeping. They thought that this weeping would kill me. Whilst they were sitting with me, and I was crying, a woman of Ansar asked permission to see me. I gave her permission, and she sat down, weeping with me. Whilst we were sitting thus, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came in, greeted us, and sat down. He had not come to visit me since the rumours had started, and for a month there had been no Revelation concerning my situation. Whilst he was sitting there, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) recited the Shahadah, then he said: When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had finished what he had to say, my tears stopped completely, and I said to my father: ‘Respond to what the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said.’ He said, ‘By Allah, I do not know what I should say to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).’ I said to my mother: ‘Respond to what the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said.’ She said, ‘By Allah, I do not know what I should say to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).’ I said; ‘I am only a young girl and I do not know much of the Qur’an. By Allah, I have nothing to say to you except the words of the father of yusuf ;( PBUH) [Surah Yusuf (12):18] Then I turned away and lay down on my bed. Then Allah revealed; [Surah an Nur (24):11 to 20] Before ‘A’ishah’s (RZ) time, Maryam bint ‘Imran (PBUH) had suffered a great deal of stress and anxiety because she became pregnant without being married. Her stress reached such an extent that; [Surah Maryam (19):23] She spoke thus because she knew that people would accuse her and not believe her when she came to them with a child in her arms, because she had been one of the devoted female worshippers who lived in seclusion close to the mosque, and she came from a religious household and was descended from prophets.(PBUT) Because of all this, she bore such a great burden of anxiety that she wished that she had dead before this happened to her, or that she had never been created at all.
