حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ ذَهَبْتُ أَسُبُّ حَسَّانَ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ لَا تَسُبَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ کَانَ يُنَافِحُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ اسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هِجَائِ الْمُشْرِکِينَ قَالَ کَيْفَ بِنَسَبِي قَالَ لَأَسُلَّنَّکَ مِنْهُمْ کَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعَرَةُ مِنْ الْعَجِينِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ فَرْقَدٍ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَبَبْتُ حَسَّانَ وَکَانَ مِمَّنْ کَثَّرَ عَلَيْهَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4146
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 Apostle (against the infidels).
