Sunan an-Nasai 3245 (Book 26, Hadith 50) #17857
Marriage Advice from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a woman who was divorced by her husband and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised her to marry Usamah bin Zaid.

It was narrated from Fatimah bint Qais that Abu 'Amr bin Hafs issued a final divorce to her while he was absent. His deputy sent some barley to her but she did not like it. He said: "By Allah, you have no rights over us". She went to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that, and he said: "You have no right to maintenance". He told her to observe her 'Iddah in the house of Umm Sharik, then he said: "She is a woman whose house is frequented by my Companions. Observe your 'Iddah in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man and you can take off your garment. And when your 'Iddah is over, let me know". She said: "When my 'Iddah was over I told him that Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm had proposed marriage to me. The Messenger of Allah said: 'As for Abu Jahm, his stick never leaves his shoulder, and as for Mu'awiyah he is a poor man who has no wealth. Rather you should marry Usamah bin Zaid'. I did not like the idea, then he said: 'Marry Usamah bin Zaid'. So I married him and Allah created a lot of good in him, and others felt jealous of my good fortune".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a woman named Fatimah bint Qais who was divorced by her husband while he was absent. She went to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for advice and he told her to observe her 'Idda in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum as he was blind and she could take off her garment there. When she completed her 'Idda, two men proposed marriage to her but she did not like either of them. The Prophet then advised that she should marry Usama ibn Zayd which she eventually did and Allah blessed their marriage with good fortune. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek advice from our elders when faced with difficult decisions in life as they have more experience than us and can guide us better than anyone else can. It also teaches us that we should be content with whatever Allah has decreed for us even if it does not seem desirable at first because it may turn out to be much better than what we expected in the end.
