Plato, you are right that Asma was angry the Prophet had Abu Afak killed had written a poem because he was upset about the prophet's killing of al-Harith b. Samt. However, you have to take note that why is it that this woman could have so great power to influence the power to instigate against Muhammad and his followers. As she could have the power to influence people to fight against Muhammad and his followers, she was not the ordinary woman that you could think of. Certainly! She must be the leader of the people that caused her to have advantage to direct their minds to fight against Muhammad and his followers.
