Yahya bin Ja'dah bin Hubayrah narrates from his grandmother Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: "I used to hear the recitation of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at night while I was on the raised platform (or elevated place) of my household." Among the daughters of Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim is Sayyidah Arwa bint Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her), who is one of the paternal aunts of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah was pleased with her.

Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) said: Arwa bint Abdul Muttalib had accepted Islam. It is narrated from Sayyidah Barrah bint Abi Tajrah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: Quraysh did not deny the Duha (forenoon) prayer; rather, they objected to its timing. (Imam al-Hakim says:) I say: This hadith is just as it has passed before; it is repeated here, so take note. Imam al-Hakim says: This is a hadith which the people of Madinah have narrated with this chain, and Imam al-Waqidi is foremost in this field (of history and biography) and has given his judgement on it, whereas Hisham bin Urwah denied that any of the daughters of Abdul Muttalib other than Sayyidah Safiyyah (the mother of al-Zubayr) accepted Islam. And Allah knows best. Among the women of Quraysh who narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is Fatimah bint Qays bin Wahb bin Tha'labah bin Wa'il bin Amr bin Shayban bin Muharib bin Fihr.

A report concerning the soundness of this lineage is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri.

Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father, who said: I went to Marwan bin al-Hakam and said to him: A woman of your family has been divorced. I passed by her while she was moving out (of her house during her waiting period), and I objected to it. The people said: Fatimah bint Qays instructed us to do this, and told us that when her husband divorced her, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to move to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum. Marwan said: "Yes, she (Fatimah) instructed them to do so." Urwah says: I said: "By Allah! Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) strongly disapproved of this and said: Fatimah (bint Qays) lived with her husband in a place (house) that was remote and desolate, and there was fear (for her safety) in her case; that is why the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted her a concession (to move from there)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it with these words.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her), the sister of Sayyiduna al-Dahhak bin Qays, that she was married to a man of Banu Makhzum. Then she mentioned the lengthy hadith, at the end of which is: When her waiting period ended, Abu Jahm and Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan proposed to her. She consulted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for Mu'awiyah, he is very poor (su'luk) and has no wealth; and as for Abu Jahm, I fear his harshness and severity towards you." So she married Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him). Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated from Fatimah bint Qays.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about istihadah (irregular bleeding), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stay (away from prayer) for the number of days equal to your menstrual period, then take a ritual bath (ghusl) and pray in a state of purity." Sayyidah Aishah and Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with them both) have also narrated from Fatimah bint Qays.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I suffer from istihadah (irregular bleeding). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not menstruation; rather, it is (bleeding from) a vein. So let her refrain (from prayer) for the number of days of her menstrual period, then take a ritual bath (ghusl), then bind a cloth as a loincloth (tastathfir) and pray."

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) sought a ruling from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: I suffer from istihadah (irregular bleeding) and do not become pure; should I abandon the prayer? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is merely a vein, not menstruation, and taking a ritual bath (ghusl) once (after the days of menstruation) is more complete than performing ablution." An account of al-Shifa' bint Abdullah al-Qurashiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that among the women of Quraysh who were honoured with the companionship of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is Sayyidah al-Shifa' bint Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with her). She was the mother of Sulayman bin Abi Hathmah al-Qurashi and the grandmother of Abu Bakr bin Sulayman bin Abi Hathmah.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that Sayyidah al-Shifa' bint Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with her) accepted Islam before the Conquest of Makkah and pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
