Lady Fatimah bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Abu Amr bin Hafs divorced her with a final (irrevocable) divorce in his absence and sent some barley with his agent. She became upset upon seeing the small amount of barley. He said: By Allah! You have no right over us. She went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and presented the whole matter before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: You have no maintenance from them. He ordered her to spend her waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik, then said: Umm Sharik is a woman whom my companions frequently visit, so spend your waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man. If you happen to remove your clothes (suddenly), there is no harm, and when your waiting period is complete, inform me. She narrates: When my waiting period was complete, I informed him that Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan and Abu Jahm bin Hudhayfah had proposed marriage to me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu Jahm is a man who beats women a lot, and Muawiyah is a poor man, he has no wealth, so marry Usamah bin Zaid. Fatimah said: I did not like him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: Marry Usamah bin Zaid. So I married him, and Allah placed so much goodness and blessing in it that I began to envy him.
