Abu Amr bin Hafs divorced her absolutely while he was away, and his agent sent her some barley. She was displeased with it, and he said, "By Allah, you have no claim on us."So she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him.He said, "You are not entitled to maintenance from him." He instructed her to observe her waiting period at the house of Umm Sharik, but then said, "That is a woman whom my companions visit. Observe your waiting period at the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man and you can remove your outer garments there. When you have completed your waiting period, let me know."She said, "When I had completed my waiting period, I told him that Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan and Abu Jahm had 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 pauper with no wealth. Marry Usama bin Zayd."I disliked the idea, but he said again, "Marry Usama." So I married him, and Allah placed much good in him, and I was envied for it.
