Ar-Rubayy' bint Mu'awwidh bin 'Afra' narrated that Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas hit his wife and broke her arm --her name was Jamilah bint 'Abdullah bin Ubayy. Her brother came to the Messenger of Allah to complain about him, and the Messenger of Allah sent for Thabit and said:
Take what she owes you and let her go. He said: Yes. And the Messenger of Allah ordered her to wait for one menstrual cycle and then go to her family.
