سورة التحريم

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): The wife of Nuh (peace be upon him) was a disbeliever and used to say to the people: "My husband is mad," and whenever anyone believed in Nuh (peace be upon him), she would inform the oppressors and tyrants of Nuh's (peace be upon him) people about him so that they would harm and torment that person. And the wife of Lut (peace be upon him) was a disbeliever and was pleased with the deed of her people, and she used to direct them to Lut's guests. This deed on the part of these two women is counted as treachery — for the wife of a prophet (peace be upon him and his family) has never been polluted with fornication; rather, their treachery was in the matter of religion. And [al-Suddi] says: their treachery was precisely their disbelief.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): Then Allah struck a parable concerning them and said: ضَرَبَ اللهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا اِمْرَأَةَ نُوحٍ وَ اِمْرَأَةَ لُوطٍ کَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَیْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَیْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا [Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve — the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut: they were both under two of Our righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towards them]. By Allah, what is meant by the words of Allah the Mighty and Majestic فَخَانَتَاهُمَا [they acted treacherously towards them] is nothing other than fornication.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): ضَرَبَ اللهُ مَثَلًا لِلَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا امْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَ امْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ [Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve: the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut] — this verse is a parable that Allah the Glorified has struck for Aisha and Hafsa, when the two of them joined forces against the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) and disclosed his secret.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Hisham ibn Salim narrated from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): He was asked: "How did the people of Lut know that men had come to Lut (peace be upon him)?" He said: "His wife would go out and whistle, and they would hear it and come. That is why whistling is disliked."

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): ضَرَبَ اللهُ مَثَلاً لِلَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا اِمْرَأَةَ نُوحٍ وَ اِمْرَأَةَ لُوطٍ [Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve: the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut] is an example which Allah the Glorified struck for Aisha and Hafsa when they joined hands against the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) and disclosed his secret.
