[3713] 48 - (...) It was narrated that Abû Bakr bin Abî Al-Jahm said: "I heard Fâtimah bint Qais say: 'My husband Abû 'Amr bin Hâfş bin Al-Mughîrah sent 'Ayyâsh bin Abî Rabî'ah to me with word of my divorce, and he sent with him five Şâ's of dates and five Şâ's of barley. I said: "Do I get no maintenance other than this? And am I not to observe my 'Iddah in your home?" He said: "No." She said: "I got dressed and went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He said: 'How many times has he divorced you?' I said: 'Three.' He said: 'He is right, you are not entitled to maintenance. Observe your Iddah in the house of your cousin 'Amr bin Umm Maktūm, for he is blind and you can take off your garments there. When your Iddah is over, let me know.' Some men proposed to me, including Mu'āwiyah and Abū Al-Jahm. The Prophet ﷺ said to me: 'Mu'āwiyah is poor and destitute, and Abū Al-Jahm is harsh towards women' - or 'he beats women,' or words to that effect - 'but you should marry Usāmah bin Zaid.'"

48 - (1480) وحَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ، تَقُولُ: أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ زَوْجِي أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ بِطَلَاقِي، وَأَرْسَلَ مَعَهُ بِخَمْسَةِ آصُعِ تَمْرٍ، وَخَمْسَةِ آصُعِ شَعِيرٍ، فَقُلْتُ: أَمَا لِي نَفَقَةٌ إِلَّا هَذَا؟ وَلَا أَعْتَدُّ فِي مَنْزِلِكُمْ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَتْ: فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي، وَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَ: «كَمْ طَلَّقَكِ؟» قُلْتُ: ثَلَاثًا، قَالَ: «صَدَقَ، لَيْسَ لَكِ نَفَقَةٌ، اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، فَإِنَّهُ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ، تُلْقِي ثَوْبَكِ عِنْدَهُ، فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُكِ فَآذِنِينِي» قَالَتْ: فَخَطَبَنِي خُطَّابٌ مِنْهُمْ مُعَاوِيَةُ، وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ تَرِبٌ، خَفِيفُ الْحَالِ، وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ مِنْهُ شِدَّةٌ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ - أَوْ يَضْرِبُ النِّسَاءَ، أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا -، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكِ بِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ»،
