Narrated ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah: It was narrated from ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah that during the reign of Marwan, ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin ‘Uthman, who was a young man, issued a final divorce to the daughter of Sa’eed bin Zaid, whose mother was Bint Qais. Her maternal aunt, Fatimah bint Qais, sent word to her telling her to move from the house of ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr. Marwan heard of that and he sent word to the daughter of Sa’eed, telling her to go back to her home, and asking her why she had moved from her home before her ‘Iddah was over? She sent word to him telling him that her maternal aunt had told her to do that. Fatimah bint Qais said that she had been married to Abu ‘Amr bin Hafs, and when the Messenger of Allah appointed ‘Ali bin Abi Talib as governor of Yemen, he went out with him and sent word to her that she was divorced with the third Talaq. He told Al-Harith bin Hisham and ‘Ayyash bin Abi Rai’ah to spend on her. She sent word to Al-Harith and ‘Ayyash asking them what her husband had told them to spend on her, and they said: ‘By Allah, she has no right to any maintenance from us, unless she is pregnant, and she cannot come into our home without our permission.’ She said that she came to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that, and he stated that they were correct. Fatimah said: ‘Where should I move to, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Move to the home of Ibn Umm Maktum, the blind man whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, named in His Book.’ Fatimah said: ‘So I observed my ‘Iddah there. He was a man who has lost his sight, so I used to take off my garments in his house, until the Messenger of Allah married me to Usamah bin Zaid.’ Marwan criticized her for that and said: ‘I have never heard this Hadith from anyone before you. I will continue to follow the ruling that the people have been following.'”

أخبرنا كثير بن عبيد، قال حدثنا محمد بن حرب، عن الزبيدي، عن الزهري، عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة، أن عبد الله بن عمرو بن عثمان، طلق وهو غلام شاب في إمارة مروان ابنة سعيد بن زيد وأمها بنت قيس البتة فأرسلت إليها خالتها فاطمة بنت قيس تأمرها بالانتقال من بيت عبد الله بن عمرو وسمع بذلك مروان فأرسل إلى ابنة سعيد فأمرها أن ترجع إلى مسكنها وسألها ما حملها على الانتقال من قبل أن تعتد في مسكنها حتى تنقضي عدتها فأرسلت إليه تخبره أن خالتها أمرتها بذلك فزعمت فاطمة بنت قيس أنها كانت تحت أبي عمرو بن حفص فلما أمر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علي بن أبي طالب على اليمن خرج معه وأرسل إليها بتطليقة هي بقية طلاقها وأمر لها الحارث بن هشام وعياش بن أبي ربيعة بنفقتها فأرسلت – زعمت – إلى الحارث وعياش تسألهما الذي أمر لها به زوجها فقالا والله ما لها عندنا نفقة إلا أن تكون حاملا وما لها أن تكون في مسكننا إلا بإذننا فزعمت أنها أتت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكرت ذلك له فصدقهما . قالت فاطمة فأين أنتقل يا رسول الله قال ” انتقلي عند ابن أم مكتوم الأعمى الذي سماه الله عز وجل في كتابه ” . قالت فاطمة فاعتددت عنده وكان رجلا قد ذهب بصره فكنت أضع ثيابي عنده حتى أنكحها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أسامة بن زيد فأنكر ذلك عليها مروان وقال لم أسمع هذا الحديث من أحد قبلك وسآخذ بالقضية التي وجدنا الناس عليها . مختصر .
