Biography of the FATIMAH BINT QAYS (رضي الله عنها) 

Fatimah bint Qays al-Fihriyyah was from those women who migrated, and she was the sister of the Companion ad-Dahhak bin Qays. 

Her Marriage:

She was married to Abu Amr bin Hafs bin al-Mughirah, then he divorced her.

After her divorce, three men sought her hand in marriage.

Fatimah bint Qays said,

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'When your period of iddah is over, inform me.'

So I informed him."

(By that time) Mu'awiyah, Abu Jahm, and Usamah bin Zayd had given her the proposal of marriage.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As far as Mu'awiyah is concerned, he is a poor man without any property.

As far as Abu Jahm is concerned, he hits women, but Usamah bin Zayd..."

She indicated with her hand that she did not approve of the idea of marrying Usamah.

But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 

طَاعَةُ اللَّهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ خَيْرٌ لَكِ .

قَالَتْ فَتَزَوَّجْتُهُ فَاغْتَبَطتُ . 

Obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger is better for you.

She said, "So I married him, and I became an object of envy." 

Her Ahadith:

She narrated the hadith concerning the woman who has been divorced three times.

She said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about the woman who had been given an irrevocable divorce: 

لَيْسَ لَهَا سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةٌ. 

There is no lodging and maintenance allowance for her. 

Likewise, Fatimah bint Qays narrated the famous hadith concerning the Dajjal. 

Those who narrated from her include ash Sha'bi, Abu Salamah bin Abdir-Rahman, Abu Bakr bin Abdir-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham, and others. 

Fatimah bint Qays died during Mu'awiyah's caliphate.
