Yes, the only religion, not even the biggest enemies of Islam (after the incident of Al-Ifk) have ever dared to make such an accusation, except the Rafidi religion and their "scholars" who have crossed all boundaries by accusing the Sahaba of all sorts of things, filling their books with all sorts of kufr and insults and then (just like Zionists) having the audacity of playing the victim role ("we Shias are being killed/oppressed for no reason, blah blah blah").
You might have heard how the apologetists amongst the Rafidis claim that those amongst their evil takfiri sect who curse the Prophet's wive (like 'Aisha, Hafsa) and the Sahaba are nothing but extremists. The likes of the Shirazi's, Yasser Al-Habib etc. They will quote you some taqiyyah statements of a political leader like Khamenei, or even a bigger Munafiq like Khomeini who in public called to Shia-Sunni unity but in his books (i.e. his REAL teachings, not politically correct speeches) called the wive of the Prophet (SAWS) as filthier than a pig and dog:
http://forum.twelvershia.net/general-sunni-vs-shia/khomeini-declares-the-wive-of-rasulullah-of-being-more-impure-than-a-dog/msg2117/#newOf course the likes of Khomeini did not invent these perverted, evil and satanic beliefs that the Rafidah Twelver Imamiyyah are shamelessly attributing to the Ahl Al-Bayt. This is what they call the "true Madhab, Madhab of Ahl Al-Bayt, Qu'ran and 'Itra" and other fancy titles that are nothing but a mask that hides a very ugly face of kufr and shirk. Kufr to a degree where the Rafidah teach their people to curse the Prophet's wive (and Sahaba) in the toilet, whilst relieving oneself:
http://forum.twelvershia.net/general-sunni-vs-shia/religion-of-evil-cursing-the-sahabah-while-relieving-yourself!/msg2119/#newBut is it true? Insulting 'Aisha, or let's be precise, accusing her of adultery (Zina!), is this really a view only hold by some contemporary so called extremists amongst the Shias, or is it a very traditional belief, rooted in their most ancient and important books, uttered by their biggest scholar in one way or the other?! Let's find out:
Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ya'qub Al-Kulayni AH/864 CE - 329 AH/941 CE, author of Al-KafiAl-Kulayni believed that Aisha (RA) performed Zina, and he also quoted a hadith as well as Ali Ibn Ibrahim al-Qummi (his very own teacher) on this matter. Both of these men were pillars for Twelver Shi'ism, and both believed that the wive of the Prophet whom he never divorced was a perverted woman who comitted Zina!
Kulayni quotes in his Kafi:

Translation of the part about Fahishah (Zina):
The Imam asked: “What do you think of unfaithfulness in the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘They both were unfaithful to the two of them.’ (66:9) He does not mean thereby anything other than Fahishah (Zinah). The Messenger of Allah had married so and so (Aisha and Hafsa).
: فقال لي: ما ترى من الخيانة في قول الله عزوجل " فخانتاهما (3) " ما يعني بذلك إلا الفاحشة (4) وقد زوج رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فلانا،
- Usul al-Kafi, Vol.2, Page 402-403, Hadith Number 2Note: The Zindiq Kulayni quoted this two times in his book. Here a direct link to that book and quote from one of the biggest Shia websites on earth in Arabic language:

الحديث الثاني عشر (6): موثق.
Muwathaq (i.e. all of its narrators are Thiqa 'trustworthy')

Abul-Hassan Ali Ibn Ibrahim Al-QummiHe is one of the main narrators of the book of kufr and shirk aka Al-Kafi. He is also one of the main teacher of Al-Kulayni himself. Al-Qummi is the author of one (if not the) most classical Shia Tafsir book available. Let's see what we can find in their Tafsir books. Maybe Tawheed? Spirituality (that they claim)? Sunnah? That's what we find:

Translation:
Al-Qummi the Zindiq says:
“Then Allah gave as an example of two of them (Aisha and Hafsa) and said: “Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut: they were both under two of Our righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towards them”, and said:
by Allah! It’s clear from His words that treachery means nothing other Fahishah (Zina) and the Hadd (Islamic Punishment) have to be put on so and so when she was on her way and so
and so used to love her and when wanted to go to the place of ... So and so told her that it is not allowed for you to go out without someone allowed to you (Mahram) so she married so and so.
(Tafsir al-Qummi, Vol.2, Page 377)
Al-Majlisi the Zindiq comments on the above and says that with fulan (so and so), Talha is meant! The mother of the believers did Zina with Talha they say, in their greatest Tafsir books and by their greatest Muhaddith! Look how the Zindiq Majlisi put a EXPLANATION title under what he is going to say so that nobody says that it is not his words:
بيان: قوله: أربعة، أي أبو بكر وعمر وبنتاهما، قوله: إلا الفاحشة، لعلها مؤولة بمحض التزويج قوله: وليقيمن الحد، أي القائم (عليه السلام) في الرجعة، كما سيأتي، والمراد بفلان طلحة
"Bayan (Explanation): The four, i.e. Abu Bakr and Omar and their two daughters, when Allah says: "except Fahisha" might only refer to marriage, the part "and the punishment will be held" refers to the [Mahdi] Qaim (as) in Raj'ah, as it will be mentioned later,
and Fulan (so and so) refers to Talha [...]"
