I swear by Allah that you have no claim on us. she went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said: There is no maintenance due to you from him, and he commanded her to spend the 'Idda in the house of Umm Sharik, but then said: That is a woman whom my companions visit. So better spend this period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man and yon can put off your garments. And when the 'Idda is over, inform me. She said: When my period of 'Idda was over, I mentioned to him that Mu'awiya b. Abu Sufyan and Jahm had sent proposal of marriage to me, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his staff from his shoulder, and as for Mu'awiya, he is a poor man having no property; marry Usama b. Zaid. I objected to him, but he again said: Marry Usama; so I married him. Allah blessed there in and I was envied (by others).

"Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman and I visited Fatimah bint Qais. She narrated to us that her husband had divorced her three times, and he did not leave her with anywhere to live nor any wealth. She said: 'He left ten Aqfizah for me with the son of his uncle: five were of barley, five of wheat.' She said: 'I went to the Messenger of Allah and mentioned that to him.' She said: 'He said: 'He is correct.'" (She said: ) 'So he ordered me to complete my Iddah in the home of Umm Sharik. But then the Messenger of Allah said to me: "Umm Sharik's home is visited by Muhajirun, so spend your Iddah in the home of Ibn Umm Maktum, for there you can remove your garments and he will not see you. Then when your Iddah is completed and someone proposed to you come to me." 'So when my Iddah completed. Abu Jahm and Mu'awiyah proposed to me.' She said: 'I went to the Messenger of Allah and mentioned that to him, and he said: "As for Mu'awiyah, he is a man with no wealth, and as for Abu Jahm he is a man who is harsh with women." She said: 'Then Usamah bin Zaid proposed to me, and he married me. So Allah blessed me with Usamah.'"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Yazid, the mawla of al-Aswad ibn Sufyan from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf from Fatima bint Qays that Abu Amr ibn Hafs divorced her absolutely while he was away in Syria. His agent sent her some barley and she was displeased with it, saying, "By Allah, I don't expect anything from you." She went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned it to him. He said, "You have no maintenance." He then ordered her to spend her idda in the house of Umm Sharik. Then he said, "This is a woman whom my companions visit. Spend the idda in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum. He is a blind man and you can undress at his home. When you are free to remarry, tell me." She continued, "When I was free to remarry, I mentioned to him that Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm ibn Hisham had asked for me in marriage. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'As for Abu Jahm, he never puts down his stick from his shoulder (i.e. he is always travelling), and as for Muawiya he is a poor man with no property. Marry Usama ibn Zayd.' I objected to him and he said, 'Marry Usama ibn Zayd,' so I married him, and Allah put good in it and I was content with him."

[Machine] "I was with a man from the tribe of Makhzun, and he divorced me instantly. So, I sent to his family seeking maintenance, but they said I was not entitled to any maintenance from them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They are not obligated to provide for you, and you are to observe the waiting period. Go to the house of Umm Sharik and do not make any decisions without consulting me". Then, he said, "Indeed, the brothers of Umm Sharik, from the early emigrants, will visit her. Go to the son of Umm Maktoom, for he is a man who has lost his sight. If you remove any of your clothes, he will not see anything." She said, "When I came out of my iddah (waiting period), Muawiyah and Abu Jahl bin Houthaifa proposed to me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for Muawiyah, he is without wealth. And as for Abu Jahl, he is a man who never removes his cane from his shoulder. Where are you in regards to Osama bin Zaid?" It seemed like her family disliked it, so she said, "I will not marry anyone except the one to whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me." So, she married him."

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about this, he said, "You are not entitled to financial support from them, but you must observe the waiting period. Go to the household of Umm Shareek instead." Then he said, "Umm Shareek will be visited by her brothers from among the Muhajireen. No, you must go to the household of Ibn Umm Maktum. He is a blind man; even if you were to uncover your clothing, he wouldn't see anything. And don't cause harm to yourself." When the waiting period ended, she mentioned that Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan and Abu Jahl proposed to marry her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Muawiya has no wealth, and Abu Jahl doesn't even remove his stick from his shoulder. Where are you in regard to Usama?" It seemed as if her family disliked that. She said, "By Allah, I will only marry the one to whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructs me to marry." So she married him.  

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ فَطَلَّقَهَا ألْبَتَّةَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ تَبْتَغِي النَّفَقَةَ فَقَالُوا لَيْسَتْ عَلَيْنَا نَفَقَةٌ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَتْ لَكِ عَلَيْهِمْ نَفَقَةٌ وَعَلَيْكِ الْعِدَّةُ فَانْتَقِلِي إِلَى أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ أُمَّ شَرِيكٍ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا إِخْوَانُهَا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ لَا وَلَكِنِ انْتَقِلِي إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى إِنْ وَضَعْتِ ثِيَابَكِ لَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا وَلَا تُفَوِّتِينَا بِنَفْسِكِ» فَلَمَّا حَلَّتْ ذَكَرَتْ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَاهَا فَقَالَ «أَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَلَا مَالَ لَهُ وَأَمَّا أَبَا جَهْمٍ فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ فَأَيْنَ أَنْتِ مِنْ أُسَامَةَ؟» فَكَأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا كَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا أَنْكِحُ إِلَّا مَا قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَكَحَتْهُ  

I swear by Allah that you have no claim on us. she went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said: There is no maintenance due to you from him, and he commanded her to spend the 'Idda in the house of Umm Sharik, but then said: That is a woman whom my companions visit. So better spend this period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man and yon can put off your garments. And when the 'Idda is over, inform me. She said: When my period of 'Idda was over, I mentioned to him that Mu'awiya b. Abu Sufyan and Jahm had sent proposal of marriage to me, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his staff from his shoulder, and as for Mu'awiya, he is a poor man having no property; marry Usama b. Zaid. I objected to him, but he again said: Marry Usama; so I married him. Allah blessed there in and I was envied (by others). (Using translation from Muslim 1480a)  

وَاللهِ مَا لَكَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ لَكِ نَفَقَةٌ» فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ يَغْشَاهَا أَصْحَابِي فَاعْتَدِّي عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ فَإِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي» فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَانِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَصُعْلُوكٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ وَلَكِنِ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ» فَنَكَحْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ اللهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا وَاغْتَبَطْتُ بِهِ  

[Machine] And Allah knows that you are not responsible for anything. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and she mentioned that to him, so he said, "You are not obligated to spend on him." And he commanded her to reside in the house of Sharik's mother. Then he said, "That woman is a temptation for my companions, so reside with the son of Umm Makhtum, for he is a blind man and you will be safe there."  

وَاللهِ مَا لَكِ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَكِ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَةٌ وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ يَغْشَاهَا أَصْحَابِي فَاعْتَدِّي عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ  

[Machine] She said, "When I became lawful for him," meaning the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , "Muawiyah and Abu Jahl proposed to me. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'As for Abu Jahl, he will not remove his stick from his shoulder, and as for Muawiyah, he is stingy and has no wealth. Marry Osama bin Zaid.' I disliked him at first, but then the Prophet said, 'Marry Osama,' so I married him. And Allah made good in him, and I was content with him."  

أَنْ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَانِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَصُعْلُوكٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ قَالَتْ فَكَرِهْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ فَنَكَحْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ اللهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا وَاغْتَبَطْتُ بِهِ  

[Machine] Allah (may ﷺ ) told her about the waiting period: If you agree with the divorce from your husband, then wait for the completion of your 'Iddah (waiting period). She said, "When I completed my 'Iddah, I informed him (the Prophet) that Mu'awiyah and Abu Jahm proposed to marry me." The Messenger of Allah (may ﷺ ) said, "Regarding Mu'awiyah, he is a man of little wealth, and as for Abu Jahm, he does not put his stick down from his shoulder (i.e. he beats women). So marry Usamah." She said, "I disliked him, but the Prophet said to me, 'Marry Usamah,' so I married him. Allah blessed him for me, and I was jealous of him."  

اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهَا فِي عِدَّتِهَا مِنْ طَلَاقِ زَوْجِهَا إِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ ؓ خَطَبَانِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَصُعْلُوكٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ وَأَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ قَالَتْ فَكَرِهْتُهُ فَقَالَ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ فَنَكَحْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ اللهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا وَاغْتَبَطْتُ بِهِ  

Abu Salamah bin ‘Abd Al Rahman reported on the authority of Fatimah daughter of Qais Abu ‘Amr bin Hafs divorced her (Fatimah daughter of Qais) absolutely when he was away from home and his agent sent her home barley. She was displeased with it. He said “I swear by Allah, you have no claim on us. She then came to Apostle of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said to her “No maintenance is due to you from him. He ordered her to spend the waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik but he said afterwards “that is a woman whom my Companions visit. Spend the waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum for he is blind and you can undress. Then when you are in a position of being remarried, tell me.” She said “When I was in a position to remarry, I mentioned to him that Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm had asked me in marriage. The Apostle of Allah ﷺsaid “As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his stick from his shoulder, and as for Mu’awiyah he is a poor man who has no property; marry Usamah bin Zaid. I disliked him but he said “Marry Usamah bin Zaid. So, I married him. And Allah prospered him very much and I was envied.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2284)   

وَاللهِ مَا لَكِ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا لَيْسَ لَكِ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَةٌ وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ يَغْشَاهَا أَصْحَابِي اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ وَإِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَانِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَصُعْلُوكٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ قَالَتْ فَكَرِهْتُهُ فَقَالَ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَنَكَحْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ اللهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا وَاغْتَبَطْتُ  

[Machine] "And by Allah, you have no financial obligation towards us." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and she mentioned this to him. He ﷺ said, "You have no financial obligation towards him, and I command you to live in the house of Umm Sharik" (his aunt). Then he ﷺ said, "That woman is encompassed by my Companions, so live at the house of Ibn Umm Maktum's mother. Indeed, he is a blind man, so put your clothes on when you are finished, and then inform me." She said, "So when I finished, I remembered that Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan and Abu Jahm has proposed to marry me." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Regarding Abu Jahm, he does not move his stick from his shoulder, and as for Muawiyah, there is no wealth for him, so marry Usama bin Zaid." She said, "So I disliked that, but then he said, 'Marry Usama,' so I married him. Then Allah made good in him and I found happiness through him."
