حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ قَالَ اسْتَأْذَنَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهَا عَلَی عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ مَغْلُوبَةٌ قَالَتْ أَخْشَی أَنْ يُثْنِيَ عَلَيَّ فَقِيلَ ابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمِنْ وُجُوهِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَتْ ائْذَنُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ کَيْفَ تَجِدِينَکِ قَالَتْ بِخَيْرٍ إِنْ اتَّقَيْتُ قَالَ فَأَنْتِ بِخَيْرٍ إِنْ شَائَ اللَّهُ زَوْجَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَنْکِحْ بِکْرًا غَيْرَکِ وَنَزَلَ عُذْرُکِ مِنْ السَّمَائِ وَدَخَلَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ خِلَافَهُ فَقَالَتْ دَخَلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَثْنَی عَلَيَّ وَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي کُنْتُ نِسْيًا مَنْسِيًّا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4755
Narrated Masruq: `Aisha said that Hassan bin Thabit came and asked permission to visit her. I said, "How do you permit such a person?" She said, "Hasn't he received a severely penalty?" (Sufyan, the subnarrator, said: She meant the loss of his sight.) Thereupon Hassan said the following poetic verse: "A chaste pious woman who arouses no suspicion. She never talks about chaste heedless women behind their backs.' On that she said, "But you are not so."
