There is no maintenance allowance for you, and you better go to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum and live with him for he is a blind man and you can put off your clothes in his house (i. e. you shall not face much difficulty in observing purdah there). (Using translation from Muslim 1480c)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٩١٩٩أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ فَاطِمَةَ ابْنَةَ قَيْسٍ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا الْمَخْزُومِيَّ طَلَّقَهَا فَأَبَى

أَنْ يُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهَا فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ فَاذْهَبِي فَانْتَقِلِي إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَكُونِي عِنْدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ عِنْدَهُ»

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). (Using translation from Muslim 1480q)

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»
