[3704] 41 - (...) It was narrated from 'Ubaidullâh bin 'Abdullâh bin 'Utbah that Abû 'Amr bin Hafs bin Al-Mughîrah set out with 'Alî bin Abî Tâlib for Yemen, and he sent word to his wife Fâtimah bint Qais with her final divorce, and told Al-Hârith bin Hishâm and 'Ayyâsh bin Abî Rabî'ah to give her some maintenance. They said to her: "By Allâh, you will not have any maintenance unless you are pregnant." She came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what they had said, and he said: "There is no maintenance for you." She asked him for permission to move, and he gave her permission. She said: "Where, O Messenger of Allâh?" He said: "To Ibn Umm Maktûm." He was blind, so she could take off her garments in his house and he would not see her. When her 'Iddah was over, the Prophet ﷺ married her to Usâmah bin Zaid. Marwân sent Qabîsah bin Dhuwaib to her to ask her about this Hadîth, and she narrated it to him. Marwân said: "We have only heard this Hadîth from a woman, so we will follow what we are certain of, which is what we found the people following." When news of what Marwân said reached Fâtimah she said: "Between you and I is the Qur'ân. Allâh, Most High, says: "...And turn them
not out of their (husband's) homes...".[1] She said: "This is for one whose divorce is revocable, so what new thing will Allāh bring to pass after the third (irrevocable divorce)? How can you say that she is not entitled to maintenance if she is not pregnant? On what grounds do you detain her?"
