Abu al-Faraj Isfahani said, “It is said that she had names including Sukayna, Sha'tha' and 'Ayisha but her correct name was Ju'da.

== | == Marriage with Imam al-Hasan (a) == | ||
Biladhuri believed that Ash'ath had a hypocrite role in this marriage. He believed that Imam Ali (a) had considered the daughter of Sa'id b. Qeys named Umm 'Imran for the wife of his son Hasan (a), but Sa'id consulted his brother Ash'ath about that and Ash'ath directed him so that Sa'id gave his daughter to son of Ash'ath and the marriage of Umm 'Imran and Imam al-Hasan (a) was cancelled, then he suggested his own daughter Ju'da for the marriage with Imam al-Hasan (a). | Biladhuri believed that Ash'ath had a hypocrite role in this marriage.

On the other hand, Ju'da was living with Imam al-Hasan (a) until the end of his life for about 10 years and this weakens reports suggesting that Imam al-Hasan (a) divorced his wives frequently, because Imam al-Hasan (a) could stand living with someone like Ju'da, whose father was Ash'ath who had stood up against Imam Ali (a) in the battle of Siffin and made him accept the judgment of Abu Musa Ash'ari and led the events toward a judgement in favor of Mu'awiya, and also she had such a characteristic that finally killed Imam al-Hasan (a) and had no children from Imam (a) either. Thus, it cannot be claimed without any definite reason that Imam al-Hasan (a) divorced mothers of his children easily. | On the other hand, Ju'da was living with Imam al-Hasan (a) until the end of his life for about 10 years and this weakens reports suggesting that Imam al-Hasan (a) divorced his wives frequently, because Imam al-Hasan (a) could stand living with someone like Ju'da, whose father was Ash'ath who had stood up against Imam Ali (a) in the battle of Siffin and made him accept the judgment of Abu Musa Ash'ari and led the events toward a judgement in favor of Mu'awiya, and also she had such a characteristic that finally killed Imam al-Hasan (a) and had no children from Imam (a) either.
