5321, 5322. Narrated Qāsim bin Muḥammad and Sulaimān bin Yaṣār that Yahya bin Sa’īd bin Al-Āṣ divorced the daughter of ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Ḥakam. ‘Abdur-Raḥmān took her to his house. On that ‘Āishah sent a message to Marwān bin Al-Ḥakam who was the ruler of Al-Madīna, saying, “Fear Allāh, and urge (your brother) to return her to her house.” Marwān (in Sulaimān’s version) said, “Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Ḥakam did not obey me (or had a convincing argument).” (In Al-Qāsim’s version) Marwān said, “Have you not heard of the case of Fāṭima bint Qais?” ‘Āishah said, “The case of Fāṭima bint Qais is not in your favour.” Marwān bin Al-Ḥakam said to ‘Āishah, “The reason that made Fāṭima bint Qais go to her father’s house is just applicable to the daughter of ‘Abdur-Raḥmān.”
