[Machine] "From her mother, Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , it is narrated that there was a woman called Subay'ah who was under the guardianship of her husband. He passed away while she was pregnant, and Abu As-Sanabil ibn Ba'akkak proposed to her for marriage. She refused to marry him, so he said, 'By Allah, you will not get married until you have completed your waiting period.' She stayed close to twenty nights, then had a miscarriage. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to her and said, 'Get married.' So, Fatimah bint Qays narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered her to move to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, who was blind, and that she should lay her clothes with him before her waiting period ended. Muhammad ibn Usamah ibn Zaid says, 'Whenever Fatimah is mentioned, Usamah ibn Zaid used to throw away whatever he had in his hand.'"
