Shia view
Shia Muslim historians wrote that Ja'da was promised gold and marriage to Yazid I. Seduced by the promise of wealth and power, she poisoned her husband, and then hastened to the court of Mu'awiya in Damascus to receive her reward. Mu'awiya reneged on his promise to marry her to his son and married her to another man. He said he could not marry her to his son for fear she would poison him too.
