Yahya related. to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Amrabint Abd ar-Rahman told him from Habiba bint Sahl al-Ansari that shehad been the wife of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas. The Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out for the dawnprayer, and found Habiba bint Sahl at his door in the darkness. TheMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said toher, "Who is this?" She said, "I am Habiba bint Sahl, Messenger ofAllah." He said, "What do you want?" She said, "That Thabit ibn Qaysand I separate." When her husband, Thabit ibn Qays came, the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "Thisis Habiba bint Sahl. She mentioned what Allah willed that shemention." Habiba said, "Messenger of Allah, all that he has given meis with me!" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, said to Thabit ibn Qays, "Take it from her," and he took itfrom her, and she stayed in the house of her family.
