English Translation
Al-Rubayyi' bint Mu'awwidh ibn 'Afra' said: I married a cousin of mine, and we were unhappy with each other. I brought the matter before Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and there was wrongdoing between us. A word slipped from me: 'I will ransom myself with all my wealth.' He said: 'I accept.' Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Take from her.' So I went and gave him all my belongings except my clothes and bedding, but he said: 'I am not satisfied.' He brought the matter before Uthman again, who said: 'O Commander of the Believers, the condition is binding.' He said: 'Indeed, so take from her everything, even her hair ties.' She said: 'So I went and gave him everything until I closed the door between us.'
