حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ طُلِّقَتْ ، فَمَرَرْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَهِيَ تَنْتَقِلُ ، فَقَالَتْ : أَمَرَتْنَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ وَأَخْبَرَتْنَا ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَنْتَقِلَ ، فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ : هِيَ أَمَرَتْهُمْ بِذَلِكَ ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ : فَقُلْتُ : أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَابَتْ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةُ ، وَقَالَتْ : إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ كَانَتْ فِي مَسْكَنٍ وَحْشٍ ، فَخِيفَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَلِذَلِكَ أَرْخَصَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
´It was narrated from Hisham bin 'Urwah that his father said:` "I entered upon Marwan and said to him: 'A women from your family has been divorced. I passed by her and she was moving. She said: 'Fatimah bint Qais told us to do that, and she told us that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told her to move.' Marwan said: 'She told them to do that."' 'Urwah said: "l said: 'By Allah, 'Aishah did not like that, and said: 'Fatimah was living in a deserted house and it was feared for her (safety and well being), so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) granted a concession to her.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Even after divorce, the waiting period (‘iddah) should be spent in the husband’s house.
➋ If there is a severe excuse, then the residence can be changed.
➌ The meaning of a deserted house is that there was very little population nearby, in fact, almost none.
➍ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) granted permission to Fatimah bint Qays (radi Allahu anha) to change her residence due to an excuse. Fatimah (radi Allahu anha) understood this as a general ruling. ‘Aishah (radi Allahu anha) did not agree with this position and clarified that not every woman is given such permission, and this is the correct position.
