Answer 1

i think this is one of your many lies that are trying to make Islam look bad...
i feel sorry for you

peace be with you...

EXMUSLIMAH: no, but your version of it is a lie ;)
oh, and don't you have anything better to do?

Answer 2

Are you the same idiot whose user name was EXMuslim before?
I don't know whether you invent these lies yourself or just pick them off some un-authentic website?
If you ask sensible questions about actual events and with proper references, then you could have some sensible answers.
But all YOU are doing is spreading lies and hatred; and the sad part is some people choose to believe things that they read on Y!A even though they are false!

Answer 6

Actually, she's absolutely right. Although there are questions about its authenticity, this story appears in the Sirah Rasul Allah, Muhammad's biography, by Ibn Is-haq. The story goes that she wrote poetry ridiculing Muhammad, and this prompted him to go into such a rage that one of his followers stabbed the poetess to death.

"She was of Banu Umayya bin Zayd. When Abu Afak had been killed she displayed disaffection. Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Al-Fudayl from his father said that she was married to a man of Banu Khatma called Yazid bin Zayd. Blaming Islam and its followers she said:

"I despise Banu Malik and al-Nabit
and Auf and Banu al-Khazraj.
You obey a stranger who is none of yours,
One not of Murad or Madhhij. {1}
Do you expect good from him after the killing of your chiefs
Like a hungry man waiting for a cook's broth?
Is there no man of pride who would attack him by
And cut off the hopes of those who expect aught from him?"

Hassan bin Thabit answered her:
"Banu Wa'il and Banu Waqif and Banu Khatma
Are inferior to Banu al-Khazraj.
When she called for folly woe to her in her weeping,
For death is coming.
She stirred up a man of glorious origin,
Noble in his going out and in his coming in.
Before midnight he dyed her in her blood
And incurred no guilt thereby."

When the apostle heard what she had said he said, "Who will rid me of Marwan's daughter?" Umayr bin Adiy al-Khatmi who was with him heard him, and that very night he went to her house and killed her. In the morning he came to the apostle and told him what he had done and he [Muhammad] said, "You have helped God and His apostle, O Umayr!" When he asked if he would have to bear any evil consequences the apostle said, "Two goats won't butt their heads about her", so Umayr went back to his people.

Now there was a great commotion among Banu Khatma that day about the affair of bint [daughter of] Marwan. She had five sons, and when Umayr went to them from the apostle he said, "I have killed bint Marwan, o sons of Khatma. Withstand me if you can; don't keep me waiting." That was the first day Islam became powerful among Banu Khatma; before that those who were Muslims concealed the fact. The first of them to accept Islam was Umayr bin Adiy who was called the "Reader", and Abdullah bin Aus and Khuzayma bin Thabit. The day after Bint Marwan was killed the men of Banu Khatma became Muslims because they feared for their lives."

This event is also discussed in Ibn Sa'd's Kitab Al Tabaqat Al Kabir.

Then (occurred) the sariyyah of Umayr ibn adi Ibn Kharashah al-Khatmi against Asma Bint Marwan, of Banu Umayyah Ibn Zayd, when five nights had remained from the month of Ramadan, in the beginning of the nineteenth month from the hijrah of the apostle of Allah. Asma was the wife of Yazid Ibn Zayd Ibn Hisn al-Khatmi. She used to revile Islam, offend the prophet and instigate the (people) against him. She composed verses. Umayr Ibn Adi came to her in the night and entered her house. Her children were sleeping around her. There was one whom she was suckling. He searched her with his hand because he was blind, and separated the child from her. He thrust his sword in her chest till it pierced up to her back. Then he offered the morning prayers with the prophet at al-Medina. The apostle of Allah said to him: "Have you slain the daughter of Marwan?" He said: "Yes. Is there something more for me to do?" He [Muhammad] said: "No. Two goats will butt together about her. This was the word that was first heard from the apostle of Allah. The apostle of Allah called him Umayr "Basir" (the seeing).

So yes, there is ground for this story in Islamic literature, although not much.

Also, this woman was not the only one to be assassinated. Two Jewish poets, Abu 'Afak and Ka'b ibn Al-Ashraf, were also murdered. The murder of Ka'b ibn Al-Ashraf is better documented than the murders of the two others, since it appears in Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 369 at http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/059.sbt.html#005.059.369
Bukhari is considered the most prestigious collection of Islamic ahadeeth. It follows the name of its compiler, the Persian theologian Bukhari, who spent 16 years compiling what he considered to be the most authentic sayings of Muhammad. Again, there are questions about the authenticity of the first two assassinations, after reading about Ka'b ibn Al-Ashraf, I don't see a good reason why Muhammad would not have ordered the other two killings as well.
