It is narrated from Sayyida Fatima bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her) that her husband had given her three divorces, so she went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began to complain about her husband, saying that he had neither provided her with residence nor maintenance. But in response to Sayyida Fatima, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We will not abandon the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the word of a woman; it is possible that she has forgotten. Amir Sha’bi says: Sayyida Fatima had narrated to me that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered her to spend her waiting period (‘iddah) in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum.
