English

[3712] 47 – ( … ) It was narrated that Abui Bakr bin AbI A1-Jahm bin Suichair Al-'AdawI said: "I heard Fâtimah bint Qais say that her husband divorced her thrice, and the Messenger of Allah did not grant her any accommodation or maintenance. She said: 'The Messenger of Allah said to me: "When your 'Iddah is over, let me know." So she let him know, and Mu'âwiyah, Abü Jahm and Usâmah bin Zaid proposed to her. The Messenger of Allah said: "As for Mu'âwiyah, he is a poor man who has no wealth. As for Abü Jahm, he is a man who beats women. But (choose) Usâmah bin Zaid." She gestured with her hand like this, (as if expressing disapproval), saying said: "Usâmah!? Usâmah!?" But the Messenger of Allah said to her: "Obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger is better for you." She said: 'So I married him and I was envied."
