حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ , عَنْ
سُفْيَانَ , سَمِعَهُ مِنْ
أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ , سَمِعْتُ
فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ , قَالَتْ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" إِذَا أَحْلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي " , فَآذَنَتْهُ , فَخَطَبَهَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ , وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ , وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَرَجُلٌ تَرِبٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ , وَأَمَّا أَبُو الْجَهْمِ فَرَجُلٌ ضَرَّابٌ لِلنِّسَاءِ , وَلَكِنْ أُسَامَةَ " , قَالَ : فَقَالَتْ بِيَدِهَا هَكَذَا : أُسَامَةُ ! تَقُولُ : لَمْ تُرِدْهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " طَاعَةُ اللَّهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ خَيْرٌ لَكِ " , فَتَزَوَّجَتْهُ , فَاغْتَبَطَتْهُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Fatimah bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "When your waiting period ('iddah) is over, inform me." After my 'iddah ended, several people sent me marriage proposals, among whom were Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Jahm (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Muawiyah is poor and has no wealth, while Abu Jahm beats women (he is harsh in nature). Rather, you should marry Usamah bin Zaid." He gestured with his hand and said: "Usamah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "It is better for you to obey Allah and His Messenger in this matter." So I accepted this proposal, and later people began to envy me.
