Q
How did Aisha respond to Marwan’s claim about the Quranic verse related to Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr?
A
Marwan had been appointed as the governor of Hijaz by Muawiya. He delivered a sermon and
mentioned Yazid bin Muawiya so that the people might take the oath of allegiance to him as the
successor of his father (Muawiya). Then `Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr told him something
whereupon Marwan ordered that he be arrested. But `Abdur-Rahman entered `Aisha’s house and they
could not arrest him. Marwan said, “It is he (`AbdurRahman) about whom Allah revealed this Verse:–
‘And the one who says to his parents: ‘Fie on you! Do you hold out the promise to me..?’”
On that, `Aisha said from behind a screen, “Allah did not reveal anything from the Qur’an about us
except what was connected with the declaration of my innocence (of the slander).
