The Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to Sayyidah Aisha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا and his other wives, "You have become similar to the wife of Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام (i.e, Sayyidah Zulaikha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا)."
'Sawaahib' is the plural of Sahib and Saahiba is the word for 'wife'. Neither was Sayyidah Zulaikha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا immoral nor did she ever commit a sin like adultery. Yes, she intended to commit Zina in the passion of love. The beauty of Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام drove her into a frenzy, and it was during this time that she wished to commit this act. When the women of Egypt cut their hands because of the state of delirium t'rey entered when seeing the beauty of Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام, what is so surprising if Sayyidah Zulaikha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا couldn't bear her patience due to being struck by his beauty? Besides, she later repented from all of these crimes.
It should be bared in mind that she was only drawn to Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام not towards anyone else. Allahعزوجل protected her in all manners. We have accepted the wives of the Prophets to be protected from adultery and immorality, not from being incapable of sin. Sayyidah Zulaikha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا committed this sin and thereafter asked for forgiveness: She said, here. she acknowledges her mistake (acknowledging your offense is tauba), which is why Allahعزوجل spoke about it but didn't mention any punishment or reproach, so that it may be known that she was forgiven for her sin. Thus, to now mention these mistakes with the intention of disrespect is very wrong. Never did she commit adultery or immorality.
Sayyidah Zulaikha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا is the family (Able-Bait) of Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام. Disrespecting her is offensiveness to this great Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم of Allahعزوجل.
CONCLUSION
Allahعزوجل is the Lord and Creator of the Prophets and they are His beloved servants. He can mention their mistakes in whatever way He wishes and they can demonstrate their humility to Him in whatever way they wish. We have no right to speak about their mistakes or disrespect and slander them unless we want our record books blackened with sin. Allahعزوجل has ordered us to respect and revere His Prophets.
Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام was visibly sold in Egypt. This is why the Egyptians used to think. that he was the property of the Egyptian Ruler. To remove this stigma from Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام pure being, Allahعزوجل sent a general famine for seven years. In the first year, the Egyptians gave money to Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام in exchange for grain. In the second, they gave their cattle and gems; in the third, they gave their cattle and animals; in the fourth, their slaves; in the fifth, their homes and properties; in the sixth, their children, and in the seventh, they completely sold themselves to Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام and said, "We shall become your slaves! Give us food in exchange for this." Then, Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام showed them favour. Madaarik, Roohul-Bayaan, etc.
Why did all of this occur? Only because when all of the Egyptians become the slaves of Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام who will now label him a slave? See! To keep the greatness of a Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم intact, the entire world can be put into difficulty.
In the time of Hadrat Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ, an Imaam used to always read Surah Abasaa (intending disrespect to Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in namaaz. The Khalifa heard of this and executed him. - Tafteer Roohul-Bayaan under this Surah
In my book, Shaan-e-Habibur-Rahman, I have proven this Surah to be the praise (Naat) of Sayyiduna Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. May Allahعزوجل grant salvation to the Deobandis who have put the nerve in people to slander and judge the Prophets.
Aameen.
