Praise be to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ), for Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
According to Sunni wizards, Aisha bint Abu Bakr is in paradise. Is that so?
Sunnis assert that because Aisha was the wife of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله), criticizing her is tantamount to criticizing him. They bring forth the Quranic verse that she was a “Mother of the Believers”:
The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers. And those of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allah than the [other] believers and the emigrants, except that you may do to your close associates a kindness [through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed. [33:6]
However, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) explicitly mentioned that being a wife of a Prophet, doesn’t render one immune from Hell:
Allah presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants but betrayed them, so those prophets did not avail them from Allah at all, and it was said, “Enter the Fire with those who enter.” [66:10]
Why would then Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) marry her? The answer is simple, so that Muslims could be tested. This fact was clearly mentioned before the battle of Jamal (eng. Camel), where Aisha clashed with the Prophet’s first successor, true heir, son-in-law and cousin, Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام):

Al-Hasan bin ‘Ali was at the top of the pulpit and ‘Ammar was below Al-Hasan. We all gathered before him. I heard ‘Ammar saying, “‘Aisha has moved to Al-Busra. By Allah! She is the wife of your Prophet in this world and in the Hereafter. But Allah has put you to test whether you obey Him (Allah) or her (‘Aisha).“

‘Ammar stood on the pulpit at Kufa and mentioned ‘Aisha and her coming (to Busra) and said, “She is the wife of your Prophet in this world and in the Hereafter, but you people are being put to test in this issue.“
Because Aisha’s actions were completely unjustified, Sunni narrators added the part about her being a wife of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) “here and in hereafter”, the latter is highly unlikely considering the facts stated in this article alone.
Aisha’s hate of Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام)
Sunni justification (Uthman’s death) for Aisha’s war against Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) is illogical and ridiculous, for not only he, Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام), was a rightly guided Caliph at that time, according to sharia law, only closest male relatives can demand qisas for the death of their family member. However, after Uthman was killed for corruption and nepotism by many prominent sahabah, including Aisha herself who previously called for his death on multiple occasions, she now rallied armies and went to war with the rightly guided caliph, Ali (عليه السلام), all that despite the fact that in Surah Al-Ahzab, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) addresses the wives of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) with specific command to stay at home:
And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance. And establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the [Prophet’s] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification. [33:33]
Uthman had sons, none of them went to Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) (who was a ruling rightly guided caliph) to complain. Therefore, Aisha broke numerous rules; rebelled unjustly – there’s no proof whatsoever that Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) himself had anything to do with the Uthman’s killing, against the ruling caliph, wanted to kill him in a battle, demanded qisas for Uthman’s death despite the fact that she was not related to him, left the house despite the Quranic ayat clearly telling the wives of the Prophet to stay at home.
After the battle of the Camel, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) confronted Aisha directly accusing her of Uthman’s murder, as well as of trying to kill him;
Ahmad ibn Ibraaheem ad-Dawraqi told me: Abu’n-Nasr told us: Ishaaq ibn Sa‘eed told us: from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘eed: Sa‘eed ibn ‘Amr told us, from Ibn Haatib who said: I went with ‘Ali on the day of (the battle of) the Camel to the howdah [in which ‘A’isha was], and it looked like a hedgehog with bristles because of all the arrows. He struck the howdah then said: Verily this Humayra’ wanted to kill me as she killed ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan. Her brother Muhammad said to her: Has something happened to you? She said: An arrow in my arm. He put his head in (the howdah), then pulled her towards him, then pulled it out.
Sunni source: Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Baladhurī, Genealogies of the Nobles (أنساب الأشراف; transliterated: Ansab al-Ashraf), 2/249.
But Aisha’s hatred toward Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) didn’t start after the murder of Uthman, for which she was partially responsible, the hate was so deep that previously (long before Uthman’s death) she could barely bring herself to mention him by name:

Narrated ‘Aisha:
“When the Prophet became seriously ill and his disease became aggravated he asked for permission from his wives to be nursed in my house and he was allowed. He came out with the help of two men and his legs were dragging on the ground. He was between Al-Abbas and another man.” ‘Ubaid Ullah said, “I told Ibn ‘Abbas what ‘Aisha had narrated and he said, ‘Do you know who was the (second) man whose name ‘Aisha did not mention'” I said, ‘No.’ Ibn ‘Abbas said, ‘He was ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib.’ “
We shall now present a complete version of this authentic Sunni tradition which proves clearly that Aisha’s failure to mention Ali ibn Abi Talib’s (عليه السلام) name whilst recollecting this alleged incident, was not on account of temporary amnesia but was in fact due to her hatred of him:
When Ubaidullah Ibn Utbah mentioned to Ibn Abbas that Aisha said “In his death-illness the Prophet was brought to (Aisha’s) house while his shoulders were being supported by Fadhl Ibn Abbas and another person”, then Abdullah Ibn Abbas said: “Do you know who this ‘other man’ was?” Ibn Utbah replied: “No.” Then Ibn Abbas said: “He was Ali Ibn Abi Talib, but she is averse to name him in a good context.”

Adulterous adventures of Aisha
According to Sunni narrations, Aisha engaged in famous adulterous affair with Safwan ibn al-Mu‘attal. Sunnis believe that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) allegedly revealed Quranic narration asserting Aisha’s innocence, which is in itself laughable in the light of other, similar events. But the affair with Safwan wasn’t the only instance when Aisha displayed infidelity and non-Islamic behaviour. There are Sunni narrations telling us that in opposition to all other wives of Prophet, Aisha continued to suckle non-mahram men she liked, which became suspicious even to Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) himself.
Aisha advised the women in her family to nurse those men that they wanted to have access to, so as to allow non-mahram men to enter into them. Prophets’s wives spoke out against this practice, claiming that Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) commanded this for Sahla bint Suhayl, who was the wife of Abu Hudhayfa, alone:
As per Sunni narrations, Prophet supposedly tells Sahla to allow her freed slave, grown up, Salim to suck her nipples so that he could become mahram to her, despite the fact that she pointed out to him that Salim isn’t a boy anymore, for he even has a beard, the Prophet replied by laughing…

The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: “I know that he is a grown man.” So she did that, then she came to the Prophet and said: “I have never seen any signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhayfah after that.” And he was present at (the battle of) Badr.
Umm Salama (سلام الله علیها) and other wives of Prophet dislike the fact that non-mahram horny boys visit Aisha, the latter defends herself by pointing what, as per Sunni narrations, Prophet advised previously to Sahla bint Suhayl, the wife of Abu Hudhayfa, so in Aisha’s understanding it extends on everyone:

Umm Salama, the wife of Allah’s Apostle (Peace be upon him), used to say that all wives of Allah’s Apostle (Peace be upon him) disclaimed the idea that one with this type of fosterage (having been suckled after the proper period) should come to them. and said to ‘A’isha: By Allah, we do not find this but a sort of concession given by Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) only for Salim, and no one was ging to be allowed to enter (our houses) with this type of fosterage and we do not subscribe to this view.
According to Aisha herself, why is it so that the wives of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) may feel uncomfortable with the fact that a grown up, not related men enter their houses? They shouldn’t, because in Aisha’s understanding any woman can suckle any man rendering him mahram within the matter of minutes:

(…) “Sahla bint Suhayl who was the wife of Abu Hudhayfa, and one of the tribe of Amr ibn Luayy, came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, ‘Messenger of Allah! We think of Salim as a son and he comes in to see me while I am uncovered. We only have one room, so what do you think about the situation?’ The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Give him five drinks of your milk and he will be mahram by it.’ She then saw him as a foster son. A’isha umm al-muminin took that as a precedent for whatever men she wanted to be able to come to see her. She ordered her sister, Umm Kulthum bint Abi Bakr as-Siddiq and the daughters of her brother to give milk to whichever men she wanted to be able to come in to see her. The rest of the wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, refused to let anyone come in to them by such nursing. They said, ‘No! By Allah!

No one will come in upon us by such nursing!’

Aisha’s jealousy of other wives
Aisha was obsessively jealous about Khadījah bint Khuwaylid (سلام الله علیها), of the most important female figures in (Shia) Islam, like her daughter, Fatima (سلام الله علیها), the daughter of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) by Khadīja (سلام الله علیها) and it is only through Fatima (سلام الله علیها), especially through her two sons, Hasan ibn Ali (عليه السلام) and Husayn ibn Ali (عليه السلام), that the lineage of the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) is preserved. These facts make Fatima (سلام الله علیها) and her mother Khadīja (سلام الله علیها) among the most revered female personages in (Shia) Islamic history. Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) was monogamously married to her for 25 years, and he married off his beloved Fatima (سلام الله علیها) only to Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام).

When I sometimes said to him, “(You treat Khadija in such a way) as if there is no woman on earth except Khadija,” he would say, “Khadija was such-and-such, and from her I had children.“
Even though Aisha never met Khadija (سلام الله علیها), she was extremely jealous of her. Prophet reminded Aisha very fast, mentioning to her that it is by her, Khadija (سلام الله علیها), that he has children, and not Aisha. But Khadija (سلام الله علیها) wasn’t the only victim of Aisha’s psychosis:

and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).’ (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), “I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.“
In the narration above, not only Aisha looked down upon other wives, she questioned and insulted Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) for taking other wives and his motives behind it, by implying that he married them only to fulfill his wordly “wishes and desires”, and she even questioned Allah’s (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) allowance for him to do so. Note the tone she used to voice her anger; “I feel that YOUR Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.” May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) protect us from such evilness.

When I saw the maidservant, I trembled with rage and fury, and I took the bowl and hurled it away. The Prophet of Allah (a) then looked at me; I saw the anger in his face and I said to him: ‘I seek refuge from Allah’s Apostle cursing me today.’ The Prophet said: ‘Undo it’. I said: ‘What is its compensation, O Prophet of Allah?’ He said: ‘The food like her food, and a bowl like her bowl.’”

I was told that a lady of her folk had given her a skin filled with honey as a present, and that she made a syrup from it and gave it to the Prophet to drink (and that was the reason for the delay). I said, “By Allah we will play a trick on him (to prevent him from doing so).” So I said to Sada bint Zam’a “The Prophet will approach you, and when he comes near you, say: ‘Have you taken Maghafir (a bad-smelling gum)?’ He will say, ‘No.’ Then say to him: ‘Then what is this bad smell which i smell from you?’ He will say to you, ‘Hafsa made me drink honey syrup.’ Then say: Perhaps the bees of that honey had sucked the juice of the tree of Al-’Urfut.’ I shall also say the same. O you, Safiyya, say the same.” Later Sada said, “By Allah, as soon as he (the Prophet ) stood at the door, I was about to say to him what you had ordered me to say because I was afraid of you.” So when the Prophet came near Sada, she said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle! Have you taken Maghafir?” He said, “No.” She said. “Then what is this bad smell which I detect on you?” He said, “Hafsa made me drink honey syrup.” She said, “Perhaps its bees had sucked the juice of Al-’Urfut tree.” When he came to me, I also said the same, and when he went to Safiyya, she also said the same. And when the Prophet again went to Hafsa, she said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Shall I give you more of that drink?” He said, “I am not in need of it.” Sada said, “By Allah, we deprived him (of it).” I said to her, “Keep quiet.”

Allah’s Apostle used to like sweets and also used to like honey, and whenever he finished the ‘Asr prayer, he used to visit his wives and stay with them. Once he visited Hafsa and remained with her longer than the period he used to stay, so I enquired about it. It was said to me, “A woman from her tribe gave her a leather skin containing honey as a present, and she gave some of it to Allah’s Apostle to drink.” I said, “By Allah, we will play a trick on him.” So I mentioned the story to Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) and said to her, “When he enters upon you, he will come near to you whereupon you should say to him, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Have you eaten Maghafir?’ He will say, ‘No.’ Then you say to him, ‘What is this bad smell? ‘ And it would be very hard on Allah’s Apostle that a bad smell should be found on his body. He will say, ‘Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.’ Then you should say to him, ‘Its bees must have sucked from the Al-’Urfut (a foul smelling flower).’ I too, will tell him the same. And you, O Saifya, say the same.”
So when the Prophet entered upon Sauda (the following happened). Sauda said, “By Him except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, I was about to say to him what you had told me to say while he was still at the gate because of fear from you. But when Allah ‘s Apostle came near to me, I said to him, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Have you eaten Maghafir?’ He replied, ‘No.’ I said, ‘What about this smell?’ He said, ‘Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.’ I said, ‘Its bees must have sucked Al-’Urfut.’ ” When he entered upon me, I told him the same as that, and when he entered upon Safiya, she too told him the same. So when he visited Hafsa again, she said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle! Shall I give you a drink of it (honey)?” He said, “I have no desire for it.” Sauda said, Subhan Allah! We have deprived him of it (honey).” I said to her, “Be quiet!”
Now note the clear contradictions in Aisha’s accounts:
In Traditions One, Two and Four we learn that the honey is drunk at the home of Zainab and the false allegation that Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) smells is conjured up by Aisha and Hafsa.
In Traditions Three and Five we learn that Hafsa has nothing whatsoever to do with the honey plot, rather Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) drinks honey from her house. Aisha alleges the Prophet smells and implicates two other wives of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله), namely Sauda and Safiyya, suggesting that she incited them to become unwitting accomplices to the plot.
We have five traditions, with notable contradictions and one common thread, they have all been narrated by Aisha. How can clarity on the truth be sought? The answer is given by none other than Umar ibn al-Khattab:
Who Were The Real Killers Of Prophet Muhammad?
The lying Sunni mother
According to further Sunni sources, Aisha’s manipulative nature and lying tongue were confirmed by Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) when He (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) revealed sura 24:15 about her;
Classification of hadith: Sahih (authentic)
Sunni collection: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī. In Sunni “Islam”, it’s considered the most authentic book after the Quran.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59 Hadith 465
Narrated Ibn Abi Malaika:
‘Aisha used to recite this Verse:– ‘Ida taliqunahu bi-alsinatikum’ (24.15) “(As you tell lie with your tongues.)” and used to say “Al-Walaq” means “telling of a lie.” She knew this Verse more than anybody else as it was revealed about her.
When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allah, tremendous. [24:15]
Conclusion
Dear readers can clearly see that Aisha bint Abu Bakr, just like her father, is clearly in hell.
We managed to prove the above relying solely on the authentic Sunni narrations;
Aisha’s pathological hatred of Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) – Prophet Muhammad’s (صلى الله عليه وآله) son-in-law, cousin, the man who was raised personally by him in his own house, true heir and first legitimate successor), long before Uthman’s murder – in which she took part, as revealed to the people shortly before the battle of the Camel if they would follow her or Allah’s (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) truth, Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام);
her adulterous affairs and shameful encouragement of such behaviour despite clear opposition from the other wives;
her jealousy for Khadija bint Khuwaylid (سلام الله علیها), the woman that Aisha never met but whose personal wealth and sacrifice safeguarded survival and spread of Islam, one whose Paradise was granted, one who gave life to Fatima (سلام الله علیها), who will be killed by Abu Bakr for her rightful inheritance and for standing up for her husband’s right to rule, but through whom the Prophetic lineage continued further in the persons of Hasan ibn Ali (عليه السلام) and Husayn ibn Ali (عليه السلام), where both will be killed by the Sunni Umayyads;
the fact that Aisha was made not fertile, unlike Khadija (سلام الله علیها);
the way she addressed Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله) accusing him of marrying multiple wives to “fulfill his wishes and desires”, whilst questioning and blaspheming (“your Lord”) against Allah’s (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) wisdom behind such a blessing bestowed solely upon Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله);
her jealousy of other wives that she tried to frame into conspiracies against each other and the Prophet;
and finally her leading role in killing Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله).
Aisha bint Abu Bakr, the Mother of the Unbelievers.
