Mahmud ibn Ghaylan reported from Abu Dawood, from Shu’bah and he from Abu Bakr ibn Abu Jahm (RA) who narrated : I and Abu Salamah ibn Abdur Rahman (RA) visited Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (RA). She said to them that her husband had divorced her three times (irrevocably) without making arrangement for her lodging and provision though he had deposited for her with his cousin ten qafiz grain, of which five were barley and five wheat. She said, “I went to Allah’s Messenger (SAW) and mentioned that to him”. He said, “He has done right,” and he commanded her to spend her waiting period at the home of Sayyidah Umm Shairk (RA) . But, soon said to her, “The house of Umm Shairk is a house where the muhajirs gather, so pass your iddah (waiting period) at the home of Ibn Umm Maktum where if you have to undress, no one will see you. Then, when you have spent your iddah and anyone asks you to marry him, come to me”. When she had spent her iddah, she received proposal from Abu Jahm and Mu’awiyah. She went to Allah’s Messenger (SAW) and mentioned that to him. He said, “As for Mu’awiyah, he is a man with no property of his own. And as for Abu Jahm, he is a man severe on women’. Then, Sayyidina Usamah ibn Zayd proposed marriage to her, and he married her. And, Allah blessed her with Usamah.
