ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ مَا بَعَثَ بِهِ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ حَفْصٍ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ لِنَفَقَتِهَا، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ

My husband Abu 'Amr b. Hafs b. al-Mughira sent 'Ayyish b. Abu Rabi'a to me with a divorce, and he also sent through him five si's of dates and five si's of barley. I said: Is there no maintenance allowance for me but only this, and I cannot even spend my 'Idda period in your house? He said: No. She said: I dressed myself and came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: How many pronouncements of divorce have been made for you? I said: Three. He said what he ('Ayyish b. Abu Rabi'a) had stated was true. There is no maintenance allowance for you. Spend 'Idda period in the house of your cousin, Ibn Umm Maktum. He is blind and you can put off your garment in his presence. And when you have spent your Idda period, you inform me. She said: Mu'awiya and Abu'l-Jahm (Allah be pleased with them) were among those who had given me the proposal of marriage. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Mu'awiya is destitute and in poor condition and Abu'l-Jahm is very harsh with women (or he beats women, or like that), you should take Usama b. Zaid (as your husband).  

فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَىَّ ثِيَابِي وَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَمْ طَلَّقَكِ قُلْتُ ثَلاَثًا قَالَ صَدَقَ لَيْسَ لَكِ نَفَقَةٌ اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ تُلْقِي ثَوْبَكِ عِنْدَهُ فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُكِ فَآذِنِينِي قَالَتْ فَخَطَبَنِي خُطَّابٌ مِنْهُمْ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ تَرِبٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَالِ وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ مِنْهُ شِدَّةٌ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ أَوْ يَضْرِبُ النِّسَاءَ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكِ بِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ  

"I heard Fatimah bint Qais say: 'My husband sent word to me that I was divorced, so I put on my garments and went to the Prophet. He said: 'How many times did he divorce you?' I said: 'Three.' He said: 'You are not entitled to maintenance. Observe your 'Iddah in the house of your paternal cousin Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is blind and you can take off your garments there. And when your 'Iddah is over let me know.'" This is an abridgment.  

سَمِعْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ تَقُولُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ زَوْجِي بِطَلاَقِي فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَىَّ ثِيَابِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَمْ طَلَّقَكِ فَقُلْتُ ثَلاَثًا قَالَ لَيْسَ لَكِ نَفَقَةٌ وَاعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ تُلْقِينَ ثِيَابَكِ عِنْدَهُ فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُكِ فَآذِنِينِي مُخْتَصَرٌ  

[Machine] "I did not tighten my clothing, then I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He asked me, 'How many times did your husband divorce you?' I said, 'Three times.' He said, 'It is true, you have no financial support, but you can stay in the house of your cousin's son, Ibn Um Maktoom, for he is blind. Remove your clothing from yourself. When your waiting period is completed, inform me.' She said, 'Then he proposed to me with a proposal that included Muawiyah and Abu Al-Jahm.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, Muawiyah is a humble man of a gentle nature, and Abu Al-Jahm is harsh towards women. But you should marry Osama bin Zaid, or he said, 'Marry Osama bin Zaid.'"  

لَا فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ كَمْ طَلَّقَكِ؟ قُلْتُ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ صَدَقَ لَيْسَ لَكِ نَفَقَةٌ وَاعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ تُلْقِينَ ثِيَابَكِ عَنْكِ فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُكِ فَآذِنِينِي قَالَتْ فَخَطَبَنِي خُطَّابٌ فِيهِمْ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ تَرِبٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَالِ وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ يَضْرِبُ النِّسَاءَ أَيْ فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ وَلكِنْ عَلَيْكِ بِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَوْ قَالَ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ

لَا فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كَمْ طَلَّقَكِ» قُلْتُ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ «صَدَقَ وَلَيْسَ لَكِ نَفَقَةٌ اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ تُلْقِينَ ثِيَابَكِ عَنْكِ فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُكِ فَآذِنِينِي فَخَطَبَنِي خُطَّابٌ مِنْهُمْ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ تَرِبٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَالِ وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ يَضْرِبُ النِّسَاءَ أَوْ فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكِ بِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ» أَوْ قَالَ «انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ»
