Ja'da bint al-Ash'ath
Ja'da bint al-Ash'at (Full name:Ja'da bint al-Ash'at ibn Qays al-Kindi) was the wife of Imam Hasan Ibn Ali. Shia scholars believe that she killed her husband in 670 CE with poison at the instruction of Mu'awiya.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Few details about her early life are known. She was of Yemeni origin from the tribe of Kinda (كندة).
Shia Muslims believe that Ja'da was promised gold and marriage to Yazid. Seduced by the promise of wealth and power, she poisoned her husband, and then hastened to the court of Muawiyah in Damascus to receive her reward. Muawiyah reneged on his promises and married her to another man.[9]
