It is narrated from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) that Abu Amr bin Hafs (may Allah be pleased with him) gave her an irrevocable divorce while he was away in Sham. His agent sent her barley, and she was very displeased with it. The agent said: "By Allah, you have no claim on us at all." She came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the whole matter to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have no maintenance due from him." And he ordered her to observe her waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik (may Allah be pleased with her). Then he said: "She is a woman whom my Companions visit often; so observe your waiting period with Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), for he is a blind man, and you can put off your (outer) garments."
Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith.
