It is told of Musab ben ez Zubeir that he met Izzehwho was one of the shrewdest of womenin Medina and said to her，'I have a mind to marry Aaishehdaughter of Telhehand I would have thee go to her and spy out for me how she is made.'So she went and returning to Musabsaid'I have seen herand her face is more beautiful than health；she hath large and well-opened eyesan aquiline nose and smoothoval cheeks and a mouth like a cleft pomegranatea neck like an ewer of silver and a bosom with two breasts like twin pomegranatesa slim waist and a slender bellywith a navel therein as it were a casket of ivoryand backside like a hummock of sand.
Moreovershe hath plump thighs and legs like columns of alabaster；but I saw her feet to be largeand thou wilt fall short with her in time of amorous dalliance.'Upon this report，he married her and Izzeh invited Aaisheh and the women of the tribe of Kureish to her housewhen Aaisheh sang the following，with Musab standing by：
The mouths of girlswith their odoriferousSweet breath and their witching smilesare sweet to buss；Yet ne'er have I tasted thembut in thought of him；And by thoughtindeedthe Ruler rules over us.
The night of his going in to herhe departed not from her，till after seven courses；and on the morrowa freed-woman of his met him and said to him'May I be thy ransom！ Thou art perfecteven in this.'
Quoth a certain woman'I was with Aaishehwhen her husband came in to herand she lusted to him；so he fell upon her and she puffed and snorted and made use of all manner of rare motions and strange inventionsand I the while within hearing.
So when he came out from herI said to her'How canst thou，with thy rank and nobility and conditiondo thusand I in thy house？'Quoth she'A woman should bring her husband all of which she is mistressby way of excitations and rare motions.
What mislikest thou of this？'And I answered'I would have this anights.'Thus is it by day，'rejoined she'and by night I do more than this；forwhen he sees medesire stirs in him and he falls on heat；so he puts out his hand to me and I obey himand it is as thou seest.'
