[Machine] I was with Abu Amr ibn Hafs ibn al-Mughirah and he had divorced me twice. Then he traveled with Ali ibn Abi Talib to Yemen when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him there. He then sent me my third divorce. The one in charge of his affairs in Madinah was Ayyash ibn Abi Rabia ibn al-Mughirah. She said, "I said to him, 'My expenses and my dwelling.' He said, 'You have no expenses or dwelling upon us unless we offer you something from us out of good faith.' She said, 'I said to him, 'If I have no need for it, then there is no obligation upon me.' He said, 'So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of my situation and what Ayyash had said to me. He said, 'She is telling the truth. You have no expenses or dwelling upon them, nor do they have the right to take you back. You should go to Umm Shareek, your cousin's daughter, and stay with her until you are free.' She said, 'Then he said, 'Not her. She is a woman who is visited by her brothers who are Muslims. But go to your cousin's son, the son of Um Maktoom, for he is blind. Stay with him and when you become free, do not forget about me.' She said, 'By Allah, I do not think that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted me for himself at that time.' She said, 'When I became free, he proposed to me on behalf of Usama ibn Zaid and married me to him.' Abu Salama said, 'She narrated her story to me and I wrote it with my own hand.'
