1135. Abū Bakr bin Al-Jahm narrated: "Abū Salamah bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān and I visited Fātimah bint Qais. She narrated to us that her husband had divorced her three times, and he did not leave her with anywhere to live nor any wealth. She said: 'He left ten Aqfīzah[1] for me with the son of his uncle: five were of barely, and five of wheat.' She said: 'I went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and mentioned that to him.' She said: 'He said: "He is correct."[1] (She said:) 'So he ordered me to complete my 'Iddah in the home of Umm Sharīk. But then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: "Umm Sharīk's home is visited by the Muhājirūn, so spend your 'Iddah in the home of Ibn Umm Maktūm, for there you can remove your garments and he will not see you. Then when your 'Iddah is completed and someone proposes to you come to me." 'So when my 'Iddah completed Abū Jahm and Mu'āwiayh proposed to me.' She said: 'I went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and mentioned that to him, and he said: "As for Mu'āwiayh, he is a man with no wealth, and as for Abū Jahm he is a man who is harsh with women." She said: 'Then Usāmah bin Zaid proposed to me, and he married me. So Allāh blessed me with Usāmah."(Ṣaḥīḥ) This Hadīth is Ṣaḥīḥ, Sufyān Ath-Thawrī reported a Hadīth similar to this from Abū Bakr bin Al-Jahm, but he added in it: "So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'Marry Usāmah."(And he mentioned the chain of narration for that.)
