The Shi'ite's views on Aisha

What is the Shi'ite's views on Aisha, whom many Muslims consider to be The Prophet's favorite wife? Was she the mother of believers and the most blessed of Muhammad (pabbuh)'s wives,... or was she a traitor?

Welcome to Shia Dir.

We believe that:

1.Cursing or insulting Aiesha is absolutely Haram [baned].

2.Yes, we believe that she is the mother of the believers, i.e., other Muslims couldn't marriage with her after the demise of Prophet (s), just like they couldn't marriage with their biological mothers. This belief of us can be found in Sunni authentic books, too.

3. We believe that because Aisha was not infallible, she made different mistakes. According to authentic Sunni books, Aisha frequentely disobeyed the orders of Allah and His Prophet (s). For example, both Sunni and Shia believe that the verse 66:4 was revealed against Aisha and Hafsa [another wife of Prophet, who was the daughter of Uthman, the 3th Caliph of Sunnis]. For another example, Allah ordered the wives of Prophet to stay in their houses [33:33], and Prophet Muhammad (s) warned Aisha not to exit from her house leading a battle against Imam Ali (as) [the first Shia Imam, the 4th Sunni Caliph] . But, she fought against Imam Ali in the time of his Caliphate. Al-Albani, whom Sunnis calls as 'current Al-Bukhari' [Al-Bukhri is the wrriter of the most authentic book of Hadith for Sunnis] has confessed that Aisha made a mistake in this doing (Silsilatul Ahadith As-Sahihah by Al-Albani, V1, P. 854, ولا نشك أن خروج أم المؤمنين كان خطأ من أصله).

4.Unfortunately, some Sunnis think that we believe that Aiesa committed adultery. But this is a big lie and we do not believe in it.

5.We believe that the most blessed of Prophet Muhammad (s)'s wive is Lady Khadija (as).

Best wishes!

Salam,
All the wives of ptophet, pbuh, are mother of belivers as no one is allowed to marry them just no one is allowed to marry his mother.
Aisha had made many mistakes duting her life which decreased her level amonge some other wives. e.g. involving the battle of Camel(Jamal) in which many Muslims killed eachother.....

Khadija, pbuh, the first wife of ptophet,pbuh, has got the hieghest ranking.
Mohammad, pbuh, was her third husband(two husbands were died) and Khadija was much older than Mohammad. Mohammad lived with her till he was something around 55 years old. till Khadija was alive, mohammad had only one beloved wife.
