Masruq reported,

We entered upon Ayesha and found Hassan bin Thabit with her, reciting poetry to her, courting with verses of his, and he recited,"A chaste, dignified woman, never suspected of any wrong, Who rises in the morning hungry rather than feast on the flesh of heedless women."Ayesha said to him, "But you are not such a man."Masruq said, I asked her, "Why do you permit him to come in to you, when Allah Almighty has said, 'And as for the one among them who took the greater share in it, for him is a great punishment' [Nur 24:11]?"She replied, "And what punishment is more severe than blindness?" Then she said to me, "He used to defend the Messenger of Allah ﷺ," or, "answer back on his behalf in poetry."

حدثني بشر بن خالد أخبرنا محمد بن جعفر عن شعبة عن سليمان عن أبي الضحى

عن مسروق قال

دخلنا على عائشة رضي الله عنها وعندها حسان بن ثابت ينشدها شعرا يشبب بأبيات له وقال حصان رزان ما تزن بريبة وتصبح غرثى من لحوم الغوافل فقالت له عائشة لكنك لست كذلك قال مسروق فقلت لها لم تأذنين له أن يدخل عليك وقد قال الله تعالى {والذي تولى كبره منهم له عذاب عظيم} فقالت وأي عذاب أشد من العمى قالت له إنه كان ينافح أو يهاجي عن رسول الله ﷺ
