It is narrated from Imam Aamir Sha’bi that once I visited Madinah Munawwarah and went to the house of Hazrat Fatimah bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her), and she narrated this hadith to me: During the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him), her husband divorced her, and during that period, the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent him away with a detachment. Her husband’s brother said to her,“You should leave this house!”I asked him,“Will I receive maintenance and residence until my waiting period (‘iddah) is over?”He said,“No.”I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said,“So-and-so has divorced me, and his brother is turning me out of the house and is not giving me maintenance or residence.”The Prophet (peace be upon him) sent for him and asked,“What dispute do you have with the daughter of Al-Qais?”He said,“O Messenger of Allah! My brother has given her three divorces at once.”Upon this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,“O daughter of Al-Qais! Know that maintenance and residence are obligatory on the husband for the wife whom he can take back (in marriage), but when there is no possibility of taking her back, then the woman is not entitled to maintenance and residence. Therefore, move from this house to the house of such-and-such woman.”Then he said,“People gather at her house and talk, so go to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is blind and will not be able to see you. And do not arrange your next marriage yourself; rather, I will arrange your marriage myself.”Meanwhile, a man from the Quraysh sent me a marriage proposal. I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) to consult him, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,“Will you not marry the one who is more beloved to me than him?”I said,“Why not, O Messenger of Allah! Marry me to whomever you wish.”So the Prophet (peace be upon him) married me to Hazrat Usamah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him).
