I and Sayyiduna Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with them) went to Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her). I asked her, "How did your husband divorce you?" She replied, "He gave me an irrevocable divorce; he did not provide residence nor maintenance. Then I was ordered to observe my waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him). Then it was said, 'Since Ibn Umm Maktum is blind, observe your waiting period in another house.' When my waiting period was completed, Muawiyah and Abu Al-Jahm sent proposals. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Muawiyah has no wealth and Abu Al-Jahm is harsh with women, but I marry you to Usamah.' She says, 'I was married to Usamah and Allah put blessing in it.'"
