Sahih Muslim Book - 18, Hadith - 3697

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ أَبَا عَمْرِو بْنَ حَفْصٍ طَلَّقَهَا الْبَتَّةَ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا وَكِيلُهُ بِشَعِيرٍ فَسَخِطَتْهُ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا لَكِ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ. فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ « لَيْسَ لَكِ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَةٌ ». فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِى بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ « تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ يَغْشَاهَا أَصْحَابِى اعْتَدِّى عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ فَإِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِى ». قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِى سُفْيَانَ وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَانِى. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَلاَ يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتَقِهِ وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَصُعْلُوكٌ لاَ مَالَ لَهُ انْكِحِى أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ ». فَكَرِهْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ « انْكِحِى أُسَامَةَ ». فَنَكَحْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا وَاغْتَبَطْتُ بِهِ.

It was narrated from Fatimah bint Qais that Abu 'Amr bin Hafs divorced her irrevocably when he was absent. He sent some barley to her via his agent, and she was angry with that. He said: "By Allah, you are not entitled to anything from us." She came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and told him about that, and he said: "You are not entitled to maintenance from him." He told her to observe her 'Iddah in the house of Umm Sharik, then he said: "She is a woman whom my Companions visit. Observe your 'Iddah in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man and you can take off your garments. And when your 'Iddah is over, let me know." She said: "When my 'Iddah ended, I told him that Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm had proposed marriage to me. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'As for Abu Jahm, his stick never leaves his shoulder. As for Mu'awiyah, he is very poor and has no wealth. Marry Usamah bin Zaid;' I did not like that, but he said: 'Marry Usamah bin Zaid.' So I married him, and Allah caused it to be good and I was envied for that."
