A woman from Banu Khatamah wrote poetry lampooning the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), and news of that reached
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and upset him.
He said: "Who will deal with her for me?" A man from among her people
said: I will, O Messenger of Allah!She was a seller of dates, so he
went to her and said to her: Do you have any dates? She said: Yes. So
she showed him some dates, and he said: I want something better than
this. So she went inside toshow him and he followed her and looked
right and left, but he did not see anything except a small table, and
he kept hitting her head with it until he killed her. Then he went to
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: O
Messenger of Allah,I have taken care of her for you. The Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "The validity of what
you have done is something that no one could dispute."
This woman was 'Asma bint Marwaan.
This is an invalid isnaad and a fabricated report that was narrated by
Muhammad ibn al-Hajjaaj of whom al-Bukhaari said:His hadeeth is to be
rejected. Ibn Ma'een said: (He is) an evil liar. Ad-Daaraqutni said:
(He is)a liar; and on one occasion he said: He is nottrustworthy.
Mizaan al-I'tidaal, 3/509
Ibn 'Adiyy said: Muhammad ibn al-Hajjaaj fabricated the hadeeth about
the woman who used to lampoon the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him), according to which when she was killed he
(allegedly) said: "The validity of what you have done is something
that noone could dispute."

This hadeeth was also mentioned by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have
mercy on him) in ad-Da'eefah (6013); he said it is fabricated
(mawdoo').
It was narrated by al-Waaqidi in al-Maghaazi(p. 173) and via him by
al-Qadaa'i (858): 'Abdullahibn al-Haarith told me, from his father,
that 'Asma bint Marwaan, fromBanu Umayyah ibn Zayd, was married to
Yazeed ibn Zayd ibn Hisn al-Khatmi. She used to revile the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), criticise Islam and incite
people against the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
When news of what she said and her incitement of the people reached
'Umayr ibn 'Adiyyibn Kharashah ibn Umayyah al-Khatmi, he said: O
Allah, I make a vow to You that I shall killher if You grant a safe
return to Madinah to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) – as the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) was inBadr at that time. When the Messenger of
Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) came back from Badr,
'Umayr ibn 'Adiyy came to her in the middle of the night and entered
upon her in her house when she had agroup of her children sleeping
around her, including an infant who was still being breastfed. He
reached out to touch her and found the infant whom she was
breastfeeding. He pushed the child aside then he plunged his sword
into her chest until it came outof her back. Then he wentout and
prayed Fajr with the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) in Madinah. When the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) finished praying, he looked at 'Umayr and said: Did you kill
the daughter of Marwaan? He said: Yes, may my father be sacrificed for
you, O Messenger of Allah.
'Umayr was afraid that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) would not approve of his killing her, so he said: Is there
any sinon me for that, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "The validity of
whatyou have done is something that no one could dispute." And this is
the first time I heard this phrase from the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him). 'Umayr said: The Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) turnedto those who were around him and
said: "If you want to see a man who supported Allah and His Messenger,
then look at 'Ubayr ibn 'Adiyy."
End quote.
This is a worthless isnaad. Imam Ahmad said concerning al-Waaqidi –
whose name was Muhammad ibn 'Umar ibnWaaqid – : He is a liar; he
alters hadeeths. Ibn Ma'een said: He is not trustworthy. On one
occasion he said: His hadeeth is not to be written down.
Al-Bukhaariand Abu Haatim said: He is matrook (rejected). Abu Haatim
and an-Nasaa'i said: He fabricates hadeeth. Ibn 'Adiyy said: His
hadeeths are odd and problematic. Ibn al-Madeeni said: al-Waaqidi
fabricates hadeeth.
Mizaan al-I'tidaal, 3/663
An-Nasaa'i said: The liars who are known for fabricating hadeeth are
four: Ibraaheem ibn Abi Yahya in Madinah, al-Waaqidi in Baghdad,
Muqaatil in Khorasan and Muhammad ibn Sa'eed in Syria./
