سنن نسائی · Hadith 3497

It was narrated from Yahya bin Saeed, from ‘Amrah bint ‘Abdur-Rahman, that she told him about Habibah bint Sahl: “She was married to Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم went out to pray As-Subh and he found Habibah bint Sahl at his door at the end of the night. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Who is this?’ She said: ‘I am Habibah bint Sahi, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم.’ He said: ‘What is the matter?’ She said: ‘I cannot live with Thabit bin Qais’ — her husband. When Thabit bin Qais came, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم d said to him: ‘Here is Habibah bint Sahl and she has said what Allah willed she should say.’ Habibah said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, everything that he gave me is with me.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Take it from her.’ So he took it from her and she stayed with her family.” (Sahih)
