Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(24:23) Those who charge with slander those Believing women, who are chaste but simple souls, *21 are accursed in this world and in the Hereafter: there is a great punishment for them.

Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

*21) The word ghafilat as used in the Text means the women who are simple, unpretentious souls, who do not know any artifice, who have pious hearts and have no idea of immorality. They cannot even imagine that their names could ever be associated with any slander. The Holy Prophet has said: "To slander chaste women is one of the seven 'deadly' sins." According to another Tradition cited by Tabarani from Hadrat Huzaifah, the Holy Prophet said: "To slander a pious woman suffiices to ruin the good deeds of a hundred years. "
