Translation

It was narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'Uthman divorced the daughter of Sa'id bin Zaid—whose mother was Hamnah bint Qais—irrevocably. Her maternal aunt Fatimah bint Qais told her to move out of 'Abdullah bin 'Amr's home. When Marwan heard, he sent for her and ordered her to return to her residence until her waiting period ended. She sent him word that her aunt Fatimah had advised her to move and had told her that the Messenger of Allah had given her the same advice when Abu 'Amr bin Hafs Al-Makhzumi divorced her. Marwan sent Qabisah bin Dhu'aib to ask Fatimah about this. She said that she had been married to Abu 'Amr when the Messenger of Allah appointed 'Ali bin Abi Talib governor of Yemen; Abu 'Amr went with him and sent her the final divorce. He had directed Al-Harith bin Hisham and 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah to provide her maintenance. She sent to them requesting the maintenance her husband had ordered, but they said: 'By Allah, she is entitled to no maintenance from us unless she is pregnant, and she may not live in our house without our permission.' Fatimah said she went to the Messenger of Allah and told him this, and he confirmed what they said. She asked: 'Where should I move, Messenger of Allah?' He replied: 'Move to the home of Ibn Umm Maktum'—the blind man whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, admonished in His Book. She moved there and would put her clothes down in his home until, she said, the Messenger of Allah married her to Usamah bin Zaid.
