It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Habibah bint Sahl (may Allah be pleased with her) was married to Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was not handsome, so Sayyidah Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! If the fear of Allah did not come before me, I would spit on Thabit’s face when I see him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Habibah! Will you return the garden that Thabit gave you as dowry? She said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), and he came. Sayyidah Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) returned the garden to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) separated them. This was the first khula’ that took place in Islam.
