Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman narrates from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) that Abu Amr bin Hafs (may Allah be pleased with him) divorced her irrevocably while he was absent. He (Abu Amr bin Hafs) sent his agent to her (Fatimah bint Qays, may Allah be pleased with her) with barley, and she was displeased with it. He 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 all this to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have no maintenance due from him." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to spend her waiting period ('iddah) in the house of Umm Sharik (may Allah be pleased with her); then he said: "She is a woman whom my Companions visit (i.e. people come and go there). Spend your waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), for he is a blind man; you can put off your garments (with ease). And when you become free (to marry), inform me." She said: When I became free, I mentioned to him that Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Jahm (may Allah be pleased with him) had proposed to me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for Abu Jahm, he does not put his stick down from his shoulder; and as for Mu'awiyah, he is a poor man with no wealth. Marry Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him)." She said: I disliked him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said (again): "Marry Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him)." So I married him, and Allah Almighty placed good in it, and I came to be envied. Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it in his Sahih from Yahya bin Yahya, from Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him).
