Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad and Sulayman ibn Yasar reported: Yahya ibn Saeed ibn al-As divorced the daughter of Abdur-Rahman ibn al-Hakam absolutely. Abdur-Rahman shifted her (from there). Aishah sent a message to Marwan ibn al-Hakam who was the governor of Madina, and said to him: Fear Allah, and return the woman to her home. Marwan said (according to Sulayman's version): Abdur-Rahman forced me. Marwan said (according to the version of al-Qasim): Did not the case of Fatimah daughter of Qays reach you? Aishah replied: There would be no harm to you if you did not make mention of the tradition of Fatimah. Marwan said: If you think that it was due to some evil (i. e. reason), then it is sufficient for you to see that there is also an evil between the two.

Urwah said: Aishah (Allah be pleased with her) severely objected to the tradition of Fatimah daughter of Qays. She said: Fatimah lived in a desolate house and she feared for her loneliness there. Hence the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم accorded permission to her (to leave the place).

Urwah ibn az-Zubayr said: Aishah was asked: Did you not see (i. e. known) the statement of Fatimah? She replied: It is not good for her to mention it (to others).
