[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.'"
