Ja'da bint al-Ash'at

Jaʿda bint al-Ashʿat (Arabic: جعدة بنت الأشعث‎) (Full name:Jaʿda bint al-Ashʿat ibn Qays al-Kindi) was the wife of Imam Hasan Ibn Ali.[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 Kindah (كندة).

Shia Muslim historians wrote that Ja'da was promised gold and marriage to Yazid ibn Muawiyah. 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 promise to marry her to his son and married her to another man.[9] He said he could not marry her to his son for fear she would poison him too.
