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.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ شُهَدَآءُ إِلَّآ أَنفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَٰدَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ أَرْبَعُ شَهَٰدَٰتٍۭ بِٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ٦
And those who accuse their wives [of adultery] and have no witnesses except themselves - then the witness of one of them [shall be] four testimonies [swearing] by Allāh that indeed, he is of the truthful.
