The reader: Regarding Fatimah bint Qays
That her husband divorced her during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he had provided her with maintenance less than what was due, so when she saw that, she said, "By Allah, I will inform the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). If I am entitled to maintenance, I will take what is sufficient for me, and if I am not entitled to maintenance, I will not take anything from him." She said, "So I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said, 'You have no right to maintenance or housing.'"
أنه طلقها زوجها في عهد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وكان أنفق عليها نفقة دون، فلما رأت ذلك قالت والله لأعلمن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فإن كان لي نفقة أخذت الذي يصلحني وإن لم تكن لي نفقة لم آخذ منه شيئا، قالت فذكرت ذلك لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال لا نفقة لك ولا سكنى
