[Machine] Bint Qais says that her husband divorced her three times and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not grant her a place to stay or provide for her. She said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "If you want, I can give you permission to remarry." So Muawiyah, Abu Jahlm, and Usamah bin Zaid proposed to her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for Muawiyah, he is a poor man who has no wealth. And as for Abu Jahlm, he is a man who beats women. But as for Usamah, she said, extending her hand this way and that, "this is Usamah, this is Usamah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger is better for you." She said, "So I married him and I was delighted with him."

Permissibility to speak about someone's character for marriage or giving council

muslim:1480pAbū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Wakīʿ > Sufyān > Abū Bakr b. Abū al-Jahm b. Ṣukhayr al-ʿAdawī > Fāṭimah b. Qays

I heard Fatimah b. Qays say that her husband divorced her three times, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not grant her accommodation or maintenance. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me, 'When you have completed your waiting period, inform me.' So I informed him.

Then Muawiyah, Abu Jahm, and Usamah b. Zayd proposed to marry her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "As for Muawiyah, he is a poor man with no wealth. As for Abu Jahm, he is a man who habitually beats women. But ˹marry˺ Usamah b. Zayd!" She gestured with her hand like this, indicating Usamah ˹is like this and˺ Usamah ˹is like that˺. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told her: "Obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger is better for you." She said: So I married him, and I was pleased."  

مسلم:١٤٨٠pوَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ بْنِ صُخَيْرٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ تَقُولُ إِنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا ثَلاَثًا فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُكْنَى وَلاَ نَفَقَةً. قَالَتْ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ ۔اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي.» فَآذَنْتُهُ.

فَخَطَبَهَا مُعَاوِيَةُ وَأَبُو جَهْمٍ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَرَجُلٌ تَرِبٌ لاَ مَالَ لَهُ، وَأَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَرَجُلٌ ضَرَّابٌ لِلنِّسَاءِ، وَلَكِنْ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ۔» فَقَالَتْ بِيَدِهَا هَكَذَا أُسَامَةُ أُسَامَةُ۔ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «طَاعَةُ اللَّهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ خَيْرٌ لَكِ۔» قَالَتْ: فَتَزَوَّجْتُهُ فَاغْتَبَطْتُ۔

Abu Bakr bin Abu Jahm bin Sukhair Al-Adawi said: “I heard Fathima bint Qais say: 'The Messenger of Allah said to me: “When you become lawful, tell me.” So I told him.' Then Muawiyah, Abu Jahm bin Sukhair and Usamah bin Zaid proposed marriage to her. The Messenger of Allah said: 'As for Muawiyah, he is a poor man who has no money. As from Abu Jahm he is a man who habitually beats woman. But Usamah (is good).' She gestured with her hand, saying: 'Usamah, Usamah!?' The Messenger of Allah said to her: 'Obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger is better for you.' She said: 'So I married him and I was pleased with him.' ”
