Yusuf Circle SheffieldS09 - Hafsah bint Umar (رضي الله عنهم) - The wives of Nuh and Lut (a.s) betrayed them in terms of deen. No wife of any Prophet (a.s) ever committed adultery.Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم
(S9)
Allah ﷻ refers to Abu Bakr and Umar رضي الله عنهم as the ‘righteous believers’ in Surah [66:4]
Surah [66:5] mentions that should our Messenger ﷺ divorce, Allah ﷻ will replace them with better women - the verse mentions ‘virgin and non virgin’ [women] - the scholars mention this refers to Maryam (رضي الله عنها) and Aasiyah (رضي الله عنها).
Our Messenger ﷺ will be married to Maryam, Aasiyah and Kulthoom (Sister of Musa (a.s)) رضي الله عنهم in Jannah.
The Rawafid use the egregious logic that Surah 66:10 mentions the disbelieving wives of Nuh and Lut (a.s) - and that it applies to Aisha and Hafsah (رضي الله عنهم)
