Ash-Sha’bi related that he one day heard Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah(ra) say, “the only person who ever defeated me in anything was a young man from the clan of Banu Al-Harith bin Ka’b. That occured when i proposed to a women from Banu Al-Harith. when i did so, a young man from the same clan was seated nearby an heard everything i said. He then approached me & said, ‘O leader, she is definately no good for you!’ I said, ‘O son of my brother, what is wrong woth her?’ He said, ‘I once saw a man kiss her!’ I immediatly withdrew my proposal, but then i later found out thst, thst very same young man had married her. I went to him & said, ‘Did you not tell me that you saw a man kiss her?’ He said, ‘Yes, i once saw her father kiss her!’”
