Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “The evil women are for the evil men”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That Allah be with the Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the meaning of this verse?
Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words. And good words are for good men, and good men are [an object] of good words. Thoseالْخَبِيثَاتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَالْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَاتِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَالطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَاتِ أُولَٰئِكَ
[An-Nur 24:26]
the ones who are absolved.

Answer:
That Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), when the people of knowledge accused her of what they accused her of, Allah the Exalted and Majestic absolved her of it. He said: "Those are the ones who are absolved from what they say," meaning what the hypocrites say about them. "For them is forgiveness and provision." Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was the one who was safe from the fear of the accusers in the heavens. And His saying, the Exalted and Majestic:
Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words.الْخَبِيثَاتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَالْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَاتِ
[An-Nur 24:26]
This is proof of their lie, because it is not possible for the wife of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to be as the accusers claimed, because Allah does not choose for His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except the pure and the good. So, naturally, this is an insult to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Insulting the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is an insult to Allah, for He does not choose for His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a bad woman. Bad women are never for the good men; the good women are for the good men, and the bad women are for the bad men. So this is a refutation of their claim, because Allah cannot choose a bad woman for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for Allah has made the good women for the good men and the bad women for the bad men. Yes.
