How sound is the narration that mentions that Aisha bint Talha did not cover her face, and that she replied to Mus'ab ibn Al-Zubayr by saying: "Indeed, Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, has marked me with a sign of beauty that I wished people to see, and for them to know my virtue over them, so I would not conceal it. By Allah, there is no blemish in me that anyone could mention me for," and that she replied to Ibn Abi Al-Dhi'b by saying: "From those who did not make Hajj seeking reward, but rather to slay the innocent, heedless one?"

The book "Kitab al-Aghani" by al-Isfahani contains egregious falsehoods that weaken piety and encourage vice. It has slandered many virtuous individuals, including the Prophet’s household (peace be upon him), with narrations that are neither sound in their chain of transmission (sanad) nor in their text (matn), and whose narrators are either unknown or liars. Al-Dhahabi described al-Isfahani as "filthy and despicable," and people feared his lampooning. Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned his weakness and accused him of unreliable transmission. The story mentioned about Aisha bint Talha is not found in "Kitab al-Aghani"; rather, it is about an unknown woman and without a chain of transmission. When there is dispute, the matter is referred back to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. It is recommended to read the book "The Return of the Hijab" to refute the misconceptions of secularists and to avoid suspicious websites.
