Book 64: Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi)
Narrated Masruq:
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 (against the infidels).
حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ وَعِنْدَهَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يُنْشِدُهَا شِعْرًا، يُشَبِّبُ بِأَبْيَاتٍ لَهُ وَقَالَ:
حَصَانٌ رَزَانٌ مَا تُزَنُّ بِرِيبَةٍ وَتُصْبِحُ غَرْثَى مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَوَافِلِ
فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ لَكِنَّكَ لَسْتَ كَذَلِكَ. قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا لِمَ تَأْذَنِينَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْكِ. وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى [quran sura=”24″ aya_start=”11″ aya_end=”11″]{وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ}. فَقَالَتْ وَأَىُّ عَذَابٍ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْعَمَى. قَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُنَافِحُ ـ أَوْ يُهَاجِي ـ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
