[[Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani]] ascribed to her that she composed romantic poems and held poem gathering, in which poets read their poems in her presence and would accept her judgment about the best poem.

However, this report is not reliable, as Abu al-Faraj has narrated it from [[Zubayr b. Bakkar]] who was an enemy of the descendants of [[Imam Ali (a)]] and even all [[Banu Hashim]]. He made up false reports about [[Ahl al-Bayt]] to the point that they wanted to kill him; so, during the caliphate of [[Mutawakil]], he fled from [[Mecca]] and settled in [[Baghdad]]. Moreover, there is [['Umar b. Abi Bakr al-Mu'mili]] among the narrators of this report. He is so weak (Da'if) according to Rijal scholars that even some [[Sunni]] scholars refused his narrations and said that he is “a blight of blights”.

Even Abu al-Faraj mentioned the improbability of this report and said, “A similar gathering to what was reported to be held by Sukayna bt. al-Husayn was held by an [[Umayyad]] woman, and I do not tell her name to anyone as long as I live.”

Furthermore, many poems which are attributed to her are not composed by her, rather by Sukayna bt. Khalid b. Mus'ab al-Zubayri, whose meetings and relations with 'Umar b. Abi Rabi'a, who was a poet, is well-known.
