It began with a necklace lost in the desert. For a month a slander passed from tongue to tongue, and the Prophet’s ﷺ home was shrouded in grief — until Allah Himself sent down a vindication from above the heavens. The fourteenth book of The Prophet’s Sirah tells of the Slander Affair, and its lessons so needed in the age of social media. “So patience is most fitting.”
“Why, when you heard it, did not the believing men and believing women think good of one another and say, ‘This is an obvious falsehood’?”
