3575. 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'šim narrated that Fâtimah bint Qais - who was married to a man of Banu Makhzûm - told him that he divorced her three times. He went out on a military campaign and told his representative to give her some provision. She thought it was too little, so she went to one of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came in while she was with her. She said: "O Messenger of Allâh, this is Fâtimah bint Qais who has been divorced by so-and-so. He sent her some provision but she rejected it. He said that it was something he did not have to do (a favor)." He said: "He is telling the truth." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Go to Umm Kulthûm and observe your 'Iddah in her house." Then he said: "Umm Kulthûm is a woman who has a lot of visitors. Go to 'Abdullâh bin Umm Maktûm for he is blind." So she went to 'Abdullâh and observed her 'Iddah in his house, until her 'Iddah was over. Then Abû Al-Jahm and Mu'âwiyah bin Abî Sufyân proposed to her. So she came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to consult him about them. He said: "As for Abû Al-Jahm, he is a man the waving of whose stick I fear for you. And as for Mu'âwiyah he is a man
who does not have any money." So she married Usâmah bin Zaid after that. (Hasan)

Commentary
'Umm Salamah': This is not correct. In other reports, there is mention of Umm Sharik, and this is correct. (For the rest of the details, please turn to narration 3224, 3239, 3246, and 3247)
