Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6391

حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَعِنْدَهَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يُنْشِدُهَا شِعْرًا يُشَبِّبُ بِأَبْيَاتٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ: حَصَانٌ رَزَانٌ مَا تُزَنُّ بِرِيبَةٍ وَتُصْبِحُ غَرْثَى مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَوَافِلِ. فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ : لَكِنَّكَ لَسْتَ كَذَلِكَ ، قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ : فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: لِمَ تَأْذَنِينَ لَهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكِ ؟ وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ: {وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} فَقَالَتْ: فَأَيُّ عَذَابٍ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْعَمَى ؟ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُنَافِحُ ، أَوْ يُهَاجِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

It was narrated that Masruq said: "I entered upon 'Aishah and Hassan bin Thabit was with her, reciting poetry to her. He said: 'She is chaste and prudent, she is beyond any suspicion; She rises hungry in the morning but she does not consume the flesh of the chaste and innocent.' 'Aishah said to him: 'But you are not like that."' Masruq said: "I said to her: 'Why do you give him permission to enter upon you, when Allah says: '...And as for him among them who had the greater share therein, his will be a great torment. ?' She said: 'What torment is greater than blindness?' She said: 'He used to defend' – or 'compose satirical verse on behalf of- the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)."'
