Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ، تَقُولُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ زَوْجِي بِطَلاَقِي فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَىَّ ثِيَابِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ كَمْ طَلَّقَكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ ثَلاَثًا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ لَكِ نَفَقَةٌ وَاعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ تُلْقِينَ ثِيَابَكِ عِنْدَهُ فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُكِ فَآذِنِينِي ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ مُخْتَصَرٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Ubaydullah bin Sa'id narrated to us; Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Abu Bakr—who was Ibn Abi al-Jahm—who said: I heard Fatimah bint Qays say, ‘My husband sent me word of my divorce. I fastened my garments around me and then came to the Prophet. He asked, “How many times has he divorced you?” I said, “Three.” He said, “You are not entitled to maintenance. Observe your waiting period in the house of your cousin, Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is blind; you may take off your clothes in his presence. When your waiting period is over, inform me.”’ Abridged.
