الإفك
20 verses in 8 surahs · 16 subtopics
The slander spread against the Mother of the Believers dominates these verses, which recall that the believers owed her a good opinion even more than themselves. They rebuke those who passed the rumor on without verifying it, threaten those who love to see indecency spread, and set the penalty for false accusation and the requirement of witnesses. The term also calls the worship of other than Allah a lie.

ٱلْخَبِيثَٰتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَٱلْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَٰتِ وَٱلطَّيِّبَٰتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَٱلطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَٰتِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ ٢٦
Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words. And good words are for good men, and good men are [an object] of good words. Those [good people] are declared innocent of what they [i.e., slanderers] say. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.
