حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ کُلْثُومٍ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ أَنَّهَا کَانَتْ تَفْلِي رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ وَنِسَائٌ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ وَهُنَّ يَشْتَکِينَ مَنَازِلَهُنَّ أَنَّهَا تَضِيقُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَيُخْرَجْنَ مِنْهَا فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُوَرَّثَ دُورَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ النِّسَائُ فَمَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَوُرِّثَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ دَارًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3080
Narrated Zaynab: She was picking lice from the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while the wife of Uthman ibn Affan and the immigrant women were with him. They complained about their houses that they had been narrowed down to them and they were evicted from them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that the houses of the Immigrants should be given to their wives. Thereafter Abdullah ibn Masud died, and his wife inherited his house in Madina.
