English translation
2284. It was reported from Sufyān, from Abū Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahmān from Fāṭimah bint Qais, that Abū ‘Amr bin Ḥafṣ divorced her irrevocably, and he was not present (in the city). So he sent his representative to her with some barley, but she considered this to be very little. He replied: “I swear by Allāh, you do not have the right to (receive) anything from me!” So she went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He told her: “You do not have the right of maintenance from him.” And he commanded her to observe her waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik, then he said: “She is a woman whom my Companions visit. Observe your waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktūm, for he is a blind man and you may take off your garments. When you have completed (your waiting period), inform me.” She said: “So when I had finished (the waiting period), I mentioned to him that Mu‘āwiyah bin Abī Sufyān and Abū Jahm both proposed for my hand. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘As for Abū Jahm, his stick never leaves his shoulders. And as for Mu‘āwiyah, he is poor, having no wealth. Marry Usāmah bin Zaid.’ But I disliked that, so he said (again): ‘Marry Usāmah bin Zaid.’ So I married him, and Allāh made much good come out of that, and other (women) became jealous of me because of him.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
