ABSTRACT
The principal point of interest in this chapter is the reference to the adventure of Ayesha during the return of the Muslim army from the expedition against the Bani Mustaliq (for a full account of which see Muir’s Life of Mahomet, vol. iii. pp. 244–254). This event is alluded to in vers. 4, 5, 11–26, revealed to clear Ayesha of the calumnies raised against her by her enemies.
