Sayyidah al-Rubayyi' bint Mu'awwidh bin Afra' (may Allah be pleased with her) reports that Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qays bin Shammas (may Allah be pleased with him) struck his wife and broke her hand; she was Sayyidah Jamilah bint Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul (may Allah be pleased with her).
Her brother came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to complain, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Take the wealth (given as dowry) of yours that is with her, and let her go." He said: "Yes." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to wait for one menstrual cycle and to join her family.
