Fatimah bint Qays reported,

Abu Amr bin Hafs divorced her absolutely while he was away, and he sent his agent to her with some barley. She was displeased with it, so he said, "By Allah, you have no claim against us."She came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned this to him. He said, "You are not entitled to maintenance." He instructed her to spend her waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik, then said, "That is a woman whom my companions frequent. Spend your waiting period at the home of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man and you may set aside your outer garments there. When your waiting period ends, let me know."She said, "When my waiting period ended, 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 sets his stick down from his shoulder. As for Muawiya, he is a pauper with no wealth. Marry Usama bin Zayd instead."I disliked the idea, but he repeated, "Marry Usama bin Zayd." So I married him, and Allah placed much good in that marriage, and I was envied for it.

عن فاطمة بنت قيس

أن أبا عمرو بن حفص طلقها البتة وهو غائب فأرسل إليها وكيله بشعير فسخطته فقال والله ما لك علينا من شيء فجاءت رسول الله ﷺ فذكرت ذلك له فقال ليس لك نفقة فأمرها أن تعتد في بيت أم شريك ثم قال تلك امرأة يغشاها أصحابي فاعتدي عند ابن أم مكتوم فإنه رجل أعمى تضعين ثيابك فإذا حللت فآذنيني قالت فلما حللت ذكرت له أن معاوية بن أبي سفيان وأبا جهم خطباني فقال رسول الله ﷺ أما أبو جهم فلا يضع عصاه عن عاتقه وأما معاوية فصعلوك لا مال له ولكن انكحي أسامة بن زيد فكرهته ثم قال انكحي أسامة بن زيد فنكحته فجعل الله عز وجل فيه خيرا واغتبطت به
