Abu Amr bin Hafs divorced her irrevocably while he was away in Syria. He sent his agent to her with some barley, and she was displeased with it.He said, "By Allah, you have no claim on us."So she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about it.He said, "You are not entitled to any maintenance from him." He instructed her to spend her waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik, but then he said, "That is a woman whom my companions visit frequently. Spend your waiting period with Abdullah bin Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man, and you may set aside your outer garments in his presence. When your waiting period is over, let me know."She said, "When my waiting period ended, I mentioned to him that Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan and Abu Jahm bin Hisham had both proposed to me."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for Abu Jahm, he never lays his stick down from his shoulder. As for Muawiya, he is a poor man with no wealth. Marry Usama bin Zayd."She said, "I was reluctant about him."Then he said again, "Marry Usama bin Zayd."So she married him, and Allah brought much good out of it, and she was envied for the match.
حدثني يحيى عن مالك عن عبد الله بن يزيد مولى الأسود بن سفيان عن أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن بن عوف
أن أبا عمرو بن حفص طلقها البتة وهو غائب بالشام فأرسل إليها وكيله بشعير فسخطته فقال والله ما لك علينا من شيء فجاءت إلى رسول الله ﷺ فذكرت ذلك له فقال ليس لك عليه نفقة وأمرها أن تعتد في بيت أم شريك ثم قال تلك امرأة يغشاها أصحابي اعتدي عند عبد الله بن أم مكتوم فإنه رجل أعمى تضعين ثيابك عنده فإذا حللت فآذنيني قالت فلما حللت ذكرت له أن معاوية بن أبي سفيان وأبا جهم بن هشام خطباني فقال رسول الله ﷺ أما أبو جهم فلا يضع عصاه عن عاتقه وأما معاوية فصعلوك لا مال له انكحي أسامة بن زيد قالت فكرهته ثم قال انكحي أسامة بن زيد فنكحته فجعل الله في ذلك خيرا واغتبطت به
