English translation

[3698] 37 - (...) It was narrated from Fâtîmah bint Qais that her husband divorced her at the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and the maintenance he gave her was very little. When she saw that she said: “By Allâh, I am going to tell the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. If I am entitled to maintenance I will take what is enough for me, and if I am not entitled to maintenance I will not take anything from him.” She said: “I told the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about that and he said: ‘You are not entitled to maintenance or accommodation.’

Arabic text

37 - (1480) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، وَقَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ أَيْضًا: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَ أَنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا نَفَقَةَ دُونٍ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَتْ: وَاللهِ لَأُعْلِمَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لِي نَفَقَةٌ أَخَذْتُ الَّذِي يُصْلِحُنِي، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لِي نَفَقَةٌ لَمْ آخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، قَالَتْ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ، وَلَا سُكْنَى»
