Q
How did Aisha respond to the presence of Hassan bin Thabit and his poetry?
A
We went to `Aisha while Hassan bin Thabit was with her reciting poetry to her from some of his
poetic verses, saying “A chaste wise lady about whom nobody can have suspicion. She gets up with an
empty stomach because she never eats the flesh of indiscreet (ladies).” `Aisha said to him, “But you
are not like that.” I said to her, “Why do you grant him admittance, though Allah said:– “and as for
him among them, who had the greater share therein, his will be a severe torment.” (24.11)
On that, `Aisha said, “And what punishment is more than blinding?” She, added, “Hassan used to
defend or say poetry on behalf of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (against the infidels).
