Jaʿda bint al-Ashʿath (Arabic: جعدة بنت الأشعث) (Full name: Jaʿda bint al-Ashʿath ibn Qays al-Kindī) was the wife of Hasan ibn Ali.
[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Few details about her early life and biography are known.
She was of Arab origin from the tribe of Kinda.
Shia Muslim historians wrote that Ja'da was promised gold and marriage to Yazid I. Seduced by the promise of wealth and power, she poisoned her husband, and then hastened to the court of Mu'awiya in Damascus to receive her reward.
[9] He said he could not marry her to his son for fear she would poison him too.
