Sahih al-Bukhari Book 68, Hadith 70
that Yahya bin Sa`id bin Al-`As divorced the daughter of `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Hakarn. `Abdur-
Rahman took her to his house. On that `Aisha sent a message to Marwan bin Al-Hakam who was the
ruler of Medina, saying, "Fear Allah, and urge your brother) to return her to her house." Marwan (in
Sulaiman's version) said, "Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Hakam did not obey me (or had a convincing
argument)." (In Al-Qasim's versions Marwan said, "Have you not heard of the case of Fatima bint
Qais?" Aisha said, "The case of Fatima bint Qais is not in your favor.' Marwan bin Al-Hakam said to
`Aisha, "The reason that made Fatima bint Qais go to her father's house is just applicable to the
daughter of `Abdur-Rahman."
Subai'a Al-Aslamiya gave birth to a child a few days after the death of her husband. She came to the Prophet and asked permission to remarry, and the Prophet (ﷺ) gave her permission, and she got married.
Aisha said, "What is wrong with Fatima? Why doesn't she fear Allah?" by saying that a divorced lady is not entitled to be provided with residence and sustenance (by her husband).
