Volume 6, Book 60, Number 279:
Narrated Masruq:
'Aisha said that Hassan bin Thabit came and asked permission to visit her. I said, "How do you per –
mit 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."
