حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ أَبُو يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عنہ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَبَاحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ زَوَّجَنِي أَهْلِي أَمَةً لَهُمْ رُومِيَّةً فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ طَبِنَ لَهَا غُلَامٌ لِأَهْلِي رُومِيٌّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُقَالُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ يُوحَنَّهْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَاطَنَهَا بِلِسَانِهِ فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا كَأَنَّهُ وَزَغَةٌ مِنَ الْوَزَغَاتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا لِيُوحَنَّهْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَفَعْنَا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَهْدِيٌّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَأَلَهُمَا فَاعْتَرَفَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُمَا:‏‏‏‏ أَتَرْضَيَانِ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ بَيْنَكُمَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى أَنَّ الْوَلَدَ لِلْفِرَاشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَجَلَدَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَلَدَهُ وَكَانَا مَمْلُوكَيْنِ .

My people married me to a Roman slave-girl of theirs. I had intercourse with her, and she gave birth to a black (male) child like me. I named it Abdullah. I again had intercourse with her, and she gave birth to a black (male) child like me. I named it Ubaydullah. Then a Roman slave of my people, called Yuhannah, incited her, and spoke to her in his own unintelligible language. She gave birth to a son like a chameleon (red). I asked her: What is this? She replied: This belongs to Yuhannah. We then brought the case to Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ (for a decision). I think Mahdi said these words. He inquired from both of them, and they acknowledged (the facts). He then said to them: Do you agree that I take the decision about you, which the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم had taken? The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم decided that the child was to attributed to the one on whose bed it was born. And I think he said: He flogged her and flogged him, for they were slaves.

— Rabah said

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ السُّلَمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا كَانَ بَطْنِي لَهُ وِعَاءً وَثَدْيِي لَهُ سِقَاءً وَحِجْرِي لَهُ حِوَاءً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ أَبَاهُ طَلَّقَنِي وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْتَزِعَهُ مِنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْتِ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مَا لَمْ تَنْكِحِي .

A woman said: Messenger of Allah, my womb is a vessel to this son of mine, my breasts, a water-skin for him, and my lap a guard for him, yet his father has divorced me, and wants to take him away from me. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: You have more right to him as long as you do not marry.

— Amr bin Shuaib on his father's authority said that his grandfather (Abdullah Ibn Amr رضی اللہ عنہما ) reported

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبُو عَاصِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَا مَيْمُونَةَ سَلْمَى مَوْلًى مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَارِسِيَّةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنٌ لَهَا فَادَّعَيَاهُ وَقَدْ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَطَنَتْ لَهُ بِالْفَارِسِيَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَوْجِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِابْنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ:‏‏‏‏ اسْتَهِمَا عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَطَنَ لَهَا بِذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ زَوْجُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ يُحَاقُّنِي فِي وَلَدِي ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ هَذَا إِلَّا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا قَاعِدٌ عِنْدَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ زَوْجِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِابْنِي وَقَدْ سَقَانِي مِنْ بِئْرِ أَبِي عِنَبَةَ وَقَدْ نَفَعَنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ اسْتَهِمَا عَلَيْهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ زَوْجُهَا:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ يُحَاقُّنِي فِي وَلَدِي ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا أَبُوكَ وَهَذِهِ أُمُّكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخُذْ بِيَدِ أَيِّهِمَا شِئْتَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ أُمِّهِ فَانْطَلَقَتْ بِهِ.

While I was sitting with Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ, a Persian woman came to him along with a son of hers. She had been divorced by her husband and they both claimed him. She said: Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ, speaking to him in Persian, my husband wishes to take my son away. Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said: Cast lots for him, saying it to her in a foreign language. Then her husband came and asked: Who is disputing with me about my son? Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said: O Allah, I do not say this, except that I heard a woman who came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم while I was sitting with him, and she said: My husband wishes to take away my son, Messenger of Allah, and he draws water for me from the well of Abu Inabah, and he has been good to me. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Cast lots for him. Her husband said: Who is disputing with me about my son? The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: This is your father and this your mother, so take whichever of them you wish by the hand. So he took his mother's hand and she went away with him.

— Hilal Ibn Usamah quoted Abu Maimunah Salma, client of the people of Madina, as saying

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْهَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُجَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَقَدِمَ بِابْنَةِ حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ أَنَا آخُذُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِهَا ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَعِنْدِي خَالَتُهَا وَإِنَّمَا الْخَالَةُ أُمٌّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِهَا ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَعِنْدِي ابْنَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِهَا أَنَا خَرَجْتُ إِلَيْهَا وَسَافَرْتُ وَقَدِمْتُ بِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَأَمَّا الْجَارِيَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَقْضِي بِهَا لِجَعْفَرٍ تَكُونُ مَعَ خَالَتِهَا وَإِنَّمَا الْخَالَةُ أُمٌّ .

Zayd Ibn Harithah رضی اللہ عنہ went out to Makkah and brought the daughter of Hamzah رضی اللہ عنہ with him. Then Jafar رضی اللہ عنہ said: I shall take her; I have more right to her; she is my uncle's daughter and her maternal aunt is my wife; the maternal aunt is like mother. Ali رضی اللہ عنہ said: I am more entitled to take her. She is my uncle's daughter. The daughter of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم is my wife, and she has more right to her. Zayd رضی اللہ عنہ said: I have more right to her. I went out and journeyed to her, and brought her with me. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came out. The narrator mentioned the rest of the tradition. He (i.e. the Prophet) said: As for the girl, I decided in favour of Jafar. She will live with her maternal aunt. The maternal aunt is like mother.

— Narrated Ali رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ وَلَيْسَ بِتَمَامِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَقَضَى بِهَا لِجَعْفَرٍ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ خَالَتَهَا عِنْدَهُ .

“He ﷺ decided that she would be given to Jafar رضی اللہ عنہ and said “Her maternal aunt is with him (i.e., his wife).

— This tradition has been narrated by Abd Al Rahman bin Abi Laila through a different chain of narrators. This version has

حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هَانِئٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُبَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ تَبِعَتْنَا بِنْتُ حَمْزَةَ تُنَادِي يَا عَمُّ يَا عَمُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَنَاوَلَهَا عَلِيٌّ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دُونَكِ بِنْتَ عَمِّكِ فَحَمَلَتْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَصَّ الْخَبَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ:‏‏‏‏ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَخَالَتُهَا تَحْتِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَضَى بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِخَالَتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْخَالَةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأُمِّ .

When we came out from Makkah, Hamzah's daughter pursued us crying: My uncle. Ali رضی اللہ عنہ lifted her and took her by the hand. (Addressing Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا he said: ) Take your uncle's daughter. She then lifted her. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition. Jafar رضی اللہ عنہ said: She is my uncle's daughter. Her maternal aunt is my wife. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم decided in favour of her maternal aunt, and said: The maternal aunt is like mother.

— Narrated Ali Ibn Abu Talib

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهَا طُلِّقَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْمُطَلَّقَةِ عِدَّةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حِينَ طُلِّقَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِالْعِدَّةِ لِلطَّلَاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَانَتْ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهَا الْعِدَّةُ لِلْمُطَلَّقَاتِ .

She was divorced in the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. No waiting period was prescribed for a divorced woman (at that time). When Asma was divorced, Allah, the Exalted, sent down the injunction of waiting period for divorce. She is the first of the divorced women about whom the verse relating to waiting period was sent down.

— Asma, daughter of Yazid Ibn as-Sakan al-Ansariyyah رضی اللہ عنہا narrated

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ سورة البقرة آية 228، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ سورة الطلاق آية 4، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنُسِخَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَإِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ سورة البقرة آية 237 فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهَا سورة الأحزاب آية 49.

Women who are divorced shall wait, keeping themselves apart, three monthly courses; and then said: And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months. This was abrogated from the former verse. Again he said: (O ye who believe, if ye wed believing women) and divorce them before ye have touched them, then there is no period that ye should reckon.

— Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما

حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَلَّقَ حَفْصَةَ ثُمَّ رَاجَعَهَا .

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم divorced Hafsah رضی اللہ عنہا, but he took her back in marriage.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَا عَمْرِو بْنَ حَفْصٍ طَلَّقَهَا الْبَتَّةَ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا وَكِيلَهُ بِشَعِيرٍ فَتَسَخَّطَتْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ مَا لَكِ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَ لَكِ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَةٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ يَغْشَاهَا أَصْحَابِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَ أَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَانِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصُعْلُوكٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ فَكَرِهْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَكَحْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا وَاغْتَبَطْتُ بِهِ.

On the authority of Fatimah daughter of Qais Abu Amr bin Hafs رضی اللہ عنہ divorced her (Fathima daughter of Qais) absolutely when he was away from home and his agent sent her home barely. She was displeased with it. He said “I swear by Allaah, you have no claim on us. She then came to Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned that to him. He said to her “No maintenance is due to you for from him. He ordered her to spend the waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik but he said afterwards “that is a woman whom my Companions visits spend the waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum for he is blind and you can undress. Then when you are in a position of being remarried, tell me. ” She said “When I was in a position to remarry, I mentioned to him that Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm رضی اللہ عنہما had asked me in marriage. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلمsaid “As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his stick from his shoulder, and as for Muawiyah he is a poor man who has no property; marry Usamah bin Zaid. I disliked him but he said “Maary Usamah bin Zaid. So, I married him. And Allah prospered him very much and I was envied. ”

— Abu Salamah bin Abd Al Rahman from Fatimah bint Qais رضی اللہ عنہا reported

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْعَطَّارُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَا حَفْصِ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ فِيهِ. وَأَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَنَفَرًا مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ أَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ أَبَا حَفْصِ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّهُ تَرَكَ لَهَا نَفَقَةً يَسِيرَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ. وَحَدِيثُ مَالِكٍ أَتَمُّ.

Fatimah daughter of Qais رضی اللہ عنہا told him that Abu Hafs Al Mughirah رضی اللہ عنہ divorced her three times. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. The version has Khalid bin Walid رضی اللہ عنہ and some people of Banu Makhzum came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said Prophet of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم Abu Hafs Al Mughirah divorced his wife three times and he has left a little for her. He said “No maintenance is necessary for her. He then transmitted the rest of the tradition. The tradition narrated by Malik is more perfect.

— Abu Salamah bin Abd Al Rahman said

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو،‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَا عَمْرِو بْنَ حَفْصٍ الْمَخْزُومِيَّ طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَخَبَرَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَال:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَتْ لَهَا نَفَقَةٌ وَلَا مَسْكَنٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ فِيهِ:‏‏‏‏ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا تَسْبِقِينِي بِنَفْسِكِ.

Abu Amr bin Hafs Al Makhzumi رضی اللہ عنہ divorced her three times. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. He then mentioned about Khalid bin Walid رضی اللہ عنہ and said that the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “There are no maintenance and dwelling for her. ” This version has “The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent a message to her “Do not give her consent for marriage without my permission. ””

— Abu Salamah reported on the authority of Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا daughter of Qais

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ فَطَلَّقَنِي الْبَتَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَاقَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ فِيهِ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَا تُفَوِّتِينِي بِنَفْسِكِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ الشَّعْبِيُّ وَ الْبَهِيُّ وَ عَطَاءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ وَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا.

“I was married to a man of Banu Makhzum. He divorced me absolutely. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition like that of Malik. This version has “Do not marry yourself without my permission. ” Abu Dawud said Al Shabi, Al Bahiyy and ata from abd Al Rahman bin asim and Abu Bakr bin Abi Al Jahm all narrated on the authority of Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا daughter of Qais that her husband had divorced her three times.

— Fatimah daughter of Qais رضی اللہ عنہا said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفَقَةً وَلَا سُكْنَى .

“Her husband divorced her for the third time. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم did not allow her to have maintenance and dwelling. ”

— It was reported from Al Shabi, from Fathima رضی اللہ عنہا daughter of Qais

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَ أَبِي حَفْصِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنَّ أَبَا حَفْصِ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ طَلَّقَهَا آخِرَ ثَلَاثِ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَفْتَتْهُ فِي خُرُوجِهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَنْتَقِلَ إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ الْأَعْمَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَى مَرْوَانُ أَنْ يُصَدِّقَ حَدِيثَ فَاطِمَةَ فِي خُرُوجِ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عُرْوَةُ:‏‏‏‏ وَأَنْكَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَ شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاسْمُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ دِينَارٌ وَهُوَ مَوْلَى زِيَادٍ.

she was the wife of Abu Hafs Ibn al-Mughirah رضی اللہ عنہ who divorced her by three pronouncements. She said that she came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and sought his opinion about her going out from her house. He commanded her to shift to (the house of )Ibn Umm Maktum رضی اللہ عنہ who was blind. Marwan denied to confirm the tradition of Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا about the going out of a divorced woman from her house. Urwah said: Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا objected to Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا daughter of Qays. Abu Dawud said: Salih bin Kaisan, Ibn Juraij, and Shuaib bin Abi Hamzah -- all of them narrated on the authority of al-Zuhri in a similar way. Abu Dawud said: Shuaibn bin Abi Hamzah the name of Abu Hamzah is Dinar. He is a client of Ziyad.

— Abu Salamah reported on the authority of Fatimah daughter of Qays who said to him

“Marwan sent someone (Qabisah) to Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا and asked her (about the case). She said that she was the wife of Abu Hafs رضی اللہ عنہ. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم appointed Ali رضی اللہ عنہ as governor in a certain part of Yemen. Her husband also proceeded with him. From there he sent a message to her pronouncing one divorce that had yet remained. He commanded Ayyash bin Abi Rabiah and Al Harith bin Hisham to provide maintenance to her. They said “By Allah there is no sustenance for her except in case she is pregnant. ” She came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم who said “There is no sustenance for you except in case you are pregnant. She then asked permission to shift (from her house) and he gave her permission. ” She asked “Where should I shift. Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم? The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to Ibn Umm Maktum. He was blind. She would undress herself and he could not see her. She lived there till her waiting period passed. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم married her to Usamah رضی اللہ عنہ. Qabisah then returned to Marwan and narrated that to him. Marwan said “We did not hear this tradition except from a woman, so we shall follow the reliable practice on which we found the people”. When this reached Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا she said “between me and you is the Book of Allah”. Allah the exalted said “Divorce them for their waiting period. . . ” Thou knowest not it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new thing to pass. She said “What a new thing will emerge after triple divorce. ” Abu Dawud said “A similar tradition has been narrated by Yunus on the authority of Al Zuhri. As for Al Zubaidi he narrated both traditions, the tradition of Ubaid Allah in the version of Mamar and the tradition of Abu Salamah in the version of Aqil. ” Abu Dawud said “Muhammad bin Ishaq narrated on the authority of Al Zuhri that Qabisah bin Dhuwaib transmitted to him the version which was narrated by Ubaid Allah bin Abd Allah which has Qabisah then returned to Marwan and informed him about that. ”

— Ubaidullah said

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْجَامِعِ مَعَالْأَسْوَدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا كُنَّا لِنَدَعَ كِتَابَ رَبِّنَا وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّنَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَةٍ لَا نَدْرِي أَحَفِظَتْ ذَلِكَ أَمْ لَا .

“I was with Al Aswad in the congregational mosque. He said “Fathimah رضی اللہ عنہا daughter of Qais came to Umar bin Al Khattab ( رضی اللہ عنہ). (When she narrated the tradition about her divorce) he said “We are not to leave the Book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم for the statement of a woman, we do not know whether she remembered it or not. ”

— Abu Ishaq said

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ عَابَتْ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَشَدَّ الْعَيْبِ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ كَانَتْ فِي مَكَانٍ وَحْشٍ فَخِيفَ عَلَى نَاحِيَتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلِذَلِكَ رَخَّصَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

Aishah ( رضی اللہ عنہا) severely objected to the tradition of Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا daughter of Qays. She said: Fatimah lived in a desolate house and she feared for her loneliness there. Hence the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم accorded permission to her (to leave the place).

— It was reported from Hisham bin Urwah, from his father said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قِيلَلِعَائِشَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَمْ تَرَيْ إِلَى قَوْلِ فَاطِمَةَ ؟ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ لَهَا فِي ذِكْرِ ذَلِكَ.

Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا was asked: Did you not see (i.e. known) the statement of Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا? She replied: It is not good for her to mention it (to others).

— Urwah Ibn az-Zubayr said

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ فِي خُرُوجِ فَاطِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْخُلُقِ .

“That was due to her bad manners. ”

Yahya Ibn Saeed Ibn al-As divorced the daughter of Abdur-Rahman ibn al-Hakam absolutely. Abdur-Rahman shifted her (from there). Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا sent a message to Marwan Ibn al-Hakam who was the governor of Madina, and said to him: Fear Allah, and return the woman to her home. Marwan said (according to Sulayman's version): Abdur-Rahman forced me. Marwan said (according to the version of al-Qasim): Did not the case of Fatimah رضی اللہ عنہا daughter of Qays reach you? Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا replied: There would be no harm to you if you did not make mention of the tradition of Fatimah. Marwan said: If you think that it was due to some evil (i.e. reason), then it is sufficient for you to see that there is also an evil between the two.

“I came to Median and went to Saeed bin Al Musayyab”. I said (to him) Fathimah رضی اللہ عنہا daughter of Qais was divorced and she shifted from her house. Saeed said “This woman has perverted people. She was arrogant so she was placed with Ibn Umm Makhtum, the blind. ”

“My maternal aunt was divorced by three pronouncements and she went out to cut down fruit from her palm trees. A man met her and forbade her (to go out). So she went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned it to him. He said “Go out, and cut down fruit from your palm trees for perhaps you may give alms (sadaqah) or do an act of kindness.

The Quranic verse “Those of you who die and leave widows should bequeath for their widows a year’s maintenance and residence was abrogated by the verse containing the laws of succession, as one-fourth or one-eighth share was prescribed for them (i. e., the widows). The waiting period for one year was also repealed as a period of four months ten days was prescribed for them.

I visited Umm Habibah رضی اللہ عنہا when her father Abu Sufyan رضی اللہ عنہ, died. She asked for some yellow perfume containing saffron (khaluq) or something else. Then she applied it to a girl and touched her cheeks. She said: I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for one who has died, more than three nights, except for four months and ten days in the case of a husband. Zaynab رضی اللہ عنہا said: I also visited Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh رضی اللہ عنہا, when her brother died. She asked for some perfume and used it upon herself. She then said: I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say when he was on the pulpit: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for one who has died, more than three nights, except for four months and ten days in the case of a husband. Zaynab رضی اللہ عنہا said: I heard my mother, Umm Salamah رضی اللہ عنہا, say: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, the husband of my daughter has died, and she is suffering from sore eyes; may we put antimony in her eyes? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: No. He said this twice or thrice. Each time he said: No. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The waiting period is now four months and ten days. In pre-Islamic days one of you used to throw away a piece of dung at the end of a year. Humayd said: I asked Zaynab رضی اللہ عنہا: What do you mean by throwing away a piece of dung at the end of a year. Zainab رضی اللہ عنہا replied: When the husband of a woman died, she entered a small cell and put on shabby clothes, not touching perfume or any other thing until a year passed. Then an animal such as donkey or sheep or bird was provided for her. She rubbed herself with it. The animal with which she rubbed herself rarely survived. She then came out and was given a piece of dung which she threw away. She then used perfume or something else which she desired. Abu Dawud said: The Arabic word "hafsh" means a small cell.
