Ibn `Abbas asked permission to visit Aisha before her death, and at that time she was in a state of
agony. She then said. "I am afraid that he will praise me too much." And then it was said to her, "He is
the cousin of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of the prominent Muslims." Then she said, "Allow him to
enter." (When he entered) he said, "How are you?" She replied, "I am Alright if I fear (Allah)." Ibn
`Abbas said, "Allah willing, you are Alright as you are the wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he did not
marry any virgin except you and proof of your innocence was revealed from the Heaven." Later on
Ibn Az-Zubair entered after him and `Aisha said to him, "Ibn `Abbas came to me and praised me
greatly, but I wish that I was a thing forgotten and out of sight."

`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."
