لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ
عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ
فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ ، فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي : أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا الْمَخْزُومِيَّ طَلَّقَهَا ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ ، فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ ، فَانْتَقِلِي فَاذْهَبِي إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ، فَكُونِي عَنْدَهُ ، فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ عَنْدَهُ " .
Fatima bint Qais reported that her husband al-Makhzumi divorced her and refused to pay her maintenance allowance. So she came to Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) and informed him, whereupon he said: There is no maintenance allowance for you, and you better go to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum and live with him for he is a blind man and you can put off your clothes in his house (i. e. you shall not face much difficulty in observing purdah there).
