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

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

Answer:
This refers to the story of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when the people of the slander accused her of what they accused her of. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) absolved her of it and said
Those [good people] are declared innocent of what the slanderers say.أُولَٰئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ
[An-Nur 24:26]
, meaning from what the hypocrites say
For them is forgiveness and noble provision.لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ
[An-Nur 24:26]
. This is the absolution of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her); Allah absolved her from above the seven heavens.
And His saying (Mighty and Majestic)
Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words.الْخَبِيثَاتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَالْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَاتِ
[An-Nur 24:26]
is proof, proof of their lie, because it is impossible that the wife of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would be a fornicator, as the hypocrites said. This is impossible, because Allah does not choose for His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except the chaste and the good. This is an insult to Allah (Mighty and Majestic); an insult to the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is an insult to Allah, that He chose for His Prophet a wicked woman. Wicked women are for wicked men, and they will never be for the good ones. The good women are for the good men, and the wicked women are for the wicked men. So this is a refutation of them, in that Allah cannot choose for His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a wicked woman, because Allah made the good women for the good men and the wicked women for the wicked men. Yes.
