Jami at-Tirmidhi 1135 (Book 11, Hadith 57) #26703
Seeking Help from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Fatimah bint Qais, who was divorced three times and left with no wealth. She went to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for help and he advised her to complete her Iddah in the home of Ibn Umm Maktum. After her Iddah was completed, Abu Jahm and Mu'awiyah proposed to her but the Prophet (PBUH) advised against them as they were not wealthy enough or too harsh with women respectively. Finally, Usamah bin Zaid proposed to her and she accepted him as a husband.

Abu Bakr bin Al-Jahm narrated: "Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman and I visited Fatimah bint Qais. She narrated to us that her husband had divorced her three times, and he did not leave her with anywhere to live nor any wealth. She said: 'He left ten Aqfizah for me with the son of his uncle: five were of barley, five of wheat'. She said: 'I went to the Messenger of Allah and mentioned that to him'. She said: 'He said: 'He is correct'." (She said: ) 'So he ordered me to complete my Iddah in the home of Umm Sharik. But then the Messenger of Allah said to me: "Umm Sharik's home is visited by Muhajirun, so spend your Iddah in the home of Ibn Umm Maktum, for there you can remove your garments and he will not see you. Then when your Iddah is completed and someone proposed to you come to me"'.So when my Iddah completed. Abu Jahm and Mu'awiyah proposed to me'. She said: 'I went to the Messenger of Allah and mentioned that to him, and he said: "As for Mu'awiyah, he is a man with no wealth, and as for Abu Jahm he is a man who is harsh with women". She said: 'Then Usamah bin Zaid proposed to me, and he married me. So Allah blessed me with Usamah'."

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Fatimah bint Qais who was divorced three times by her husband leaving her with no wealth or place to live in. She went to the Messenger of Allah for help and he ordered her to complete her Idda in the home of Ibn Umm Maktum where she could remove all garments without being seen by anyone else. When it was time for marriage again, two men proposed but were rejected by the Prophet due their lack of wealth or being too harsh on women respectively. Finally, Usamh bin Zaid proposed which pleased both Fatimh and Allah as He blessed them with a successful marriage thereafter. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek help from our beloved prophet whenever we are facing any difficulty in life because his advice will always be beneficial for us even if it may not seem so at first glance like it did not seem so when he rejected those two proposals initially but later proved right when Usamh's proposal worked out well for both parties involved . It also teaches us that we should never give up hope even if things look bleak because Allah can turn any situation around if He wills it so .
