Is it true, the claim of malicious individuals that Lady Aisha wailed and beat her face upon the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
This confirms what was asked about. In Musnad Ahmad and Abu Ya'la, it is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) died between my chest and my neck, and it was my turn, and I did not wrong anyone in it. It was due to my foolishness and young age that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while he was in my lap. Then I placed his head on a pillow and stood up, beating my face and chest with the women." Its chain of narration is good. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) is excused due to her young age and her attribution of the act to foolishness, and the ruling of Islamic law being unclear to her. This contains evidence of her repentance from this act.
