English

[3700] 38 – ( … ) Abü Salamah narrated that Fâtimah hint Qais, the sister of Ad-Dahhâk bin Qais, told him, that Abü Haf bin Al-MughIrah Al-MaithzümI divorced her three times, then he went to Yemen. His people said to her: "You are not entitled to maintenance from us." Khâlid bin A1-WalId came with a group of people to the Messenger of Allah in the house of Maimünah and said: "Abü Hafs has divorced his wife three times; is she entitled to maintenance?" The Messenger of Allah said: "She is not entitled to maintenance, but she has to observe the 'Iddah." And he sent word to her, saying: "Do not be hasty in making a decision concerning yourself (without consulting me)." He told her to move to (the house of) Umm harIk, then he sent word saying: "Umm Sharik is visited by the first MuhâjirIn. Go to Ibn Umm Maktiim, the blind man, for if you take off your Kljimâr (head cover) he will not see you." So she went and stayed there, and when her 'Iddah was over, the Messenger of Allah married her to Usâmah bin Zaid bin Hârithah.
