Anti-Shia scholar Maulana Abdur Rahman Jaami writes (17): “This is commonly known amogn the people that his wife Ja’da administered poison to him upon the orders of Ameer Mu’awiya.” Tarikh Ibn Asakir: كان معاوية قد تلطف لبعض خدمه أن يسقيه سما “Mu’awiya created a mixture via his servants, which was administered to Hassan.

Allamah Ismaeel bin Abul Fida in his famed work ‘Tarikh Abul Fida’ records: وتوفي الحسن من سم سقته زوجته جعدة بنت الأشعث قيل فعلت ذلك بأمر معاوية “Hassan was killed via poisoning, administered by his wife Ja’da bint Ashath upon the orders of Mu’awiya” Muruj al Dhahab: His wife Ja’da bint Ashath gave him poison, Mu’awiya gave her this poison stating: ‘If you administer this poison and kill Hassan by mixing it in food, I will reward you with 100,000 Dirhams and marry you to Yazid’.

When the Hassan was martyred, Mu’awiya gave her 100,000 Dirhams , but on marrying Yazid, he said: ‘I value the life of Yazid’. Maqatil al Talibeen: “Muawiya administered poison to him (Hassan) when he wanted to appoint Yazeed, and poisoned Saad bin Abi Waqas and they both died in close days.

The one who administered poison to al-Hassan was his wife J’ada bin al-Ash’ath bin Qais, for which she was rewarded with money, paid to her by Mu’awiya” Continue in the next article: ( Mu’awiya’s poisoning of Imam Hassan (as) 2 ) NOTES: _______________________________________________ 1.
