The present book which is at the disposal of the reader, is the
translation of a part of the book called Ahadith of Umm al-Mu’minin
‘A’ishah The text of the book is written by the great traditional
scholar, Mr. Sayyid Murtada ‘Askari. The religious, social and cultural
services of this author are so many that he is lauded by both enemies
and friends, and a description of his services requires an independent
pamphlet. One example of his scientific and cultural service is the book
of “Ahadith of Umm al- Mu’minin ‘A’ishah” in which he portrays the
ideas, beliefs, qualities; characteristics and spiritual peculiarities
of ‘A’ishah for the reader and familiarizes him with the true visage of
this women. This book gives an account of ‘A’ishah’s life and her role
in producing some very important political events. But the main purpose
of the author is not to give a full and detailed history and biography.
He has a much wider and higher goal, namely to discuss the large and
considerable number of traditions narrated by her and show to what
extend they are right or wrong, reliable or unreliable. Before beginning
the discussion of this wide subject, it has been considered necessary
to describe in an introduction to this book, some of the historical
events in the occurrence of which ‘A’ishah had played a part, in order
to give a true picture of the personality of this narrator of so many
traditions, thereby clarifying their value and validity. Therefore the
author has, in his study of A’ishah’s adventurous life, divided it into
definite parts and periods the most important of which are the following
three:
l-’A’ishah in the time of ‘Uthman’s rule.
2-’A’ishah in the time of ‘Ali’s rule.
3-’A’ishah in the time of Mu’awiyah’s rule.
