English translation

4146. Narrated Masrūq: We went to ‘Āishah while Ḥassān bin Thābit 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).”(1) ‘Āishah said to him, “But you are not like that.” I said to her, “Why do you grant him admittance, though Allāh تعالى said: “...And as for him among them, who had the greater share therein, his will be a great torment.” (V.24:11) On that, ‘Āishah said, “And what punishment is more than blinding?”(2) She, added, "Hassān used to defend or say poetry on behalf of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (against the infidels)."

Arabic text

4146 - حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، وَعِنْدَهَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يُنْشِدُهَا شِعْرًا، يُشَبِّبُ بِأَبْيَاتٍ لَهُ: وَقَالَ: حَصَانٌ رَزَانٌ مَا تُزَنُّ بِرِيبَةٍ وَتُصْبِحُ غَرْثَى مِنْ لُحُومِ الغَوَافِلِ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ: لَكِنَّكَ لَسْتَ كَذَلِكَ، قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ: فَقُلْتُ لَهَا لِمَ تَأْذَنِينَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْكِ؟ وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} [النور: 11] فَقَالَتْ: " وَأَيُّ عَذَابٍ أَشَدُّ مِنَ العَمَى؟ قَالَتْ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُنَافِحُ، أَوْ يُهَاجِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "
