[Machine] She was married to a man from the Banu Makhzum tribe, but he divorced her immediately. She sent a message to her family seeking financial support, but they replied that they have no responsibility towards her expenses. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was informed about this, and he said, "They have no obligation to provide for you, but you must observe 'iddah (waiting period). Move to the house of Umm Sharik." Then he said, "Umm Sharik's brothers, who are among the early migrants, will visit her. Move to the house of the son of Umm Makhtoom, as he is a blind man. If you undress in front of him, he will not see anything. Do not burden us with your presence." When the waiting period ended, some men mentioned her to the Prophet ﷺ, asking, "Where is she in comparison to Usama?" It seemed that her family disliked this, so she said, "By Allah, I will only marry the one whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ chooses for me." Thus, she married him.

There is no maintenance allowance due to you from us. Khalid b. Walid along with a group of persons visited Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the house of Maimuna and they said: Abu Hafs has divorced his wife with three pronouncements; is there any maintenance allowance due to her? Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No maintenance allowance is due to her, but she is required to spend the 'Idda; and he sent her the message that she should not be hasty in making a decision about herself and commanded her to move to the house of Umm Sharik, and then sent her the message that as the first immigrants (frequently) visit the house of Umm Sharik, she should better go to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, the blind, (and further said: In case you put off your head-dress, he (Ibn Umm Makhtum) will not see you. So she went to his house, and when the 'Idda was over, Messenger of Allah ﷺ married her to Usama b. Zaid b. Haritha.

[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."

[Machine] She was under the authority of a man from the Quraysh tribe of Banu Makhzum, but he divorced her abruptly. She then sent a message to her family seeking financial support, but they informed her that they had no provision for her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of this, and he said, "You have no financial support, but you have an 'iddah (waiting period). Move to the house of Umm Sharik and do not burden us with your presence." Then he said, "Umm Sharik is a woman who is visited by her brothers from the Muhajirin, but move to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man. If you take off your clothes, he will not see anything, and do not burden us with your presence." So she went to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, and when she arrived, she remembered that Mu'awiyah and Abu Jahm had proposed to her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for Mu'awiyah, he is a man without wealth, and as for Abu Jahm, he does not take his cane off his shoulder. So where do you stand with regard to Usamah?" Her family seemed to dislike this, so she said, "By Allah, I will not marry anyone except the one whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has mentioned." Therefore, she married Usamah. Muhammad ibn Amr said that Muhammad ibn Ibrahim said, "O Fatimah, fear Allah, for you have known what this meant."

[Machine] A man from the tribe of Makhzum divorced his wife on the spot. She then sent word to her family seeking financial support, but they refused to provide for her. So she went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of her situation. He told her that her family was not obligated to support her, but she must observe the waiting period. He advised her to go to Umm Sharik, who was a woman frequented by her brothers from the early Muslim migrants. She then should go to the son of Umm Maktoom, who was a blind man. If she were to undress in front of him, he would not see anything. The Prophet ﷺ added, "Do not put us in a difficult position." She replied, "When I am free of my obligations, men will want to propose to me." The Prophet then asked, "And what about Osama?" She did not like that suggestion and said, "I will only marry the one you mentioned." So she got married. Muhammad bin Amr narrated from Muhammad bin Ibrahim that Aisha used to advise Fatimah, saying, "Fear Allah, for I know what led to this."
