Fatimah bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her), the sister of Dhahhak bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), narrated: She was the wife of a man from the Banu Makhzum tribe. He gave her three divorces and himself went out on a military expedition, and he told his agent to give her some maintenance. So I considered it insufficient, and I went to one of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came while she was with her. She said: O Messenger of Allah! This is Fatimah bint Qais. So-and-so has given her three divorces, and he has ordered a small amount of maintenance for her, but she did not accept it, and he said that even this is a favor upon her. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has spoken the truth." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Go to Umm Maktum and spend your waiting period with her." Then he said: "She is a woman with many visitors. Go to Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum and spend your waiting period with him." So I went to Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum and spent my waiting period with him. When my waiting period ended, Abu Jahm bin Hudhayfah and Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with them both) sent me proposals of marriage. I consulted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for Abu Jahm bin Hudhayfah, he is a man who carries a stick, so you may fear being beaten, and as for Muawiyah, he is poor and has no wealth." So Usamah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) married her.
