Fatima bint Qais (Allah be pleased with her) reported: My husband Abu 'Amr bin Hafs bin al-Mughirahh sent 'Ayyish bin Abu Rabi'a to me with a divorce, and he also sent through him five sa's of dates and five sa's of barley. I said: Is there no maintenance allowance for me but only this, and I cannot even spend my 'Idda period in your house? He said: No. She said: I dressed myself and came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He said: How many pronouncements of divorce have been made for you? I said: Three. He said what he ('Ayyish bin Abu Rabi'a) had stated was true. There is no maintenance allowance for you. Spend 'Idda period in the house of your cousin, Ibn Umm Maktum. He is blind and you can put off your garment in his presence. And when you have spent your Idda period, you inform me. She said: Mu'awiyah and Abu'l-Jahm (RA) were among those who had given me the proposal of marriage. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Mu'awiyah is destitute and in poor condition and Abu'l-Jahm is very harsh with women (or he beats women, or like that), you should take Usama bin Zaid (as your husband).
