I came to Madinah and went to Fatimah bint Qays, who told me that her husband had divorced her during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had sent him out on a military expedition, and his brother said to me, "Leave the house."I said, "I am entitled to maintenance and lodging until the waiting period ends."He said, "No."She continued, So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "So-and-so has divorced me, and his brother has turned me out and denied me lodging and maintenance."He sent for him and asked, "What is between you and the daughter of the family of Qays?"He said, "Messenger of Allah, my brother divorced her with three pronouncements together."She said, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to me, "Listen, daughter of the family of Qays. Maintenance and lodging are due to a wife from her husband only as long as he has the right to take her back. When he no longer has the right to take her back, there is no maintenance and no lodging. Leave and go stay with so-and-so."Then he said, "He has visitors who talk with her. Go stay with Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is blind and cannot see you."Then he said, "Do not marry until I am the one who gives you in marriage."She said, A man from Quraysh proposed to me, so I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to seek his counsel. He asked, "Will you not marry someone dearer to me than him?"I said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah. Marry me to whomever you wish."She said, So he married me to Usama bin Zayd.
حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد قال حدثنا مجالد
قدمت المدينة فأتيت فاطمة بنت قيس فحدثتني أن زوجها طلقها على عهد رسول الله ﷺ فبعثه رسول الله ﷺ في سرية فقال لي أخوه اخرجي من الدار فقلت إن لي نفقة وسكنى حتى يحل الأجل قال لا قالت فأتيت رسول الله ﷺ فقلت إن فلانا طلقني وإن أخاه أخرجني ومنعني السكنى والنفقة فأرسل إليه فقال ما لك ولابنة آل قيس قال يا رسول الله إن أخي طلقها ثلاثا جميعا قالت فقال لي رسول الله ﷺ انظري أي بنت آل قيس إنما النفقة والسكنى للمرأة على زوجها ما كانت له عليها رجعة فإذا لم يكن له عليها رجعة فلا نفقة ولا سكنى اخرجي فانزلي على فلانة ثم قال إنه يتحدث إليها انزلي عند ابن أم مكتوم فإنه أعمى لا يراك ثم قال لا تنكحي حتى أكون أنا أنكحك قالت فخطبني رجل من قريش فأتيت رسول الله ﷺ أستأمره فقال ألا تنكحين من هو أحب إلي منه فقلت بلى يا رسول الله فأنكحني من أحببت قالت فأنكحني من أسامة بن زيد
