16. Book of Divorce
١٦۔ كِتَابُ الطَّلَاقِ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمَرْأَةِ بِإِعْطَاءِ مَا طَابَتْ نَفْسُهَا بِهِ عَلَى الْخُلْعِ
She (Habibah) was the wife of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shimmas. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out one morning and found Habibah by his door. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who is this? She replied: I am Habibah, daughter of Sahl. He asked: What is your case? She replied: I and Thabit ibn Qays, referring to her husband, cannot live together. When Thabit ibn Qays came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: This is Habibah, daughter of Sahl, and she has mentioned (about you) what Allah wished to mention. Habibah said: Messenger of Allah, all that he gave me is with me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Thabit ibn Qays: Take it from her. So he took it from her, and she lived among her people (relatives). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2227)
وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَوَجَدَ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ سَهْلٍ عَلَى بَابِهِ فِي الْغَلَسِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا شَأْنُكِ؟ » فَقَالَتْ لَا أَنَا وَلَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ لِزَوْجِهَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَ ثَابِتٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَذِهِ حَبِيبَةُ بِنْتُ سَهْلٍ قَدْ ذَكَرَتْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَذْكُرَ» قَالَتْ حَبِيبَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُلُّ مَا أَعْطَانِي عِنْدِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ «خُذْ مِنْهَا» فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا وَجَلَسَتْ فِي أَهْلِهَا
