Riyad as-Salihin: Book 17, Hadith 23

Fatimah bint Qais (May Allah be pleased with her) said: I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said to him: “Muawiyah and Abul-Jahm sent me a proposal of marriage.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Muawiyah is destitute and he has no property, and Abul-Jahm is very hard on women.”.

وعن فاطمة بنت قيس رضي الله عنها قالت‏:‏ أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقلت‏:‏ إن أبا الجهم ومعاوية خطباني‏؟‏ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏‏”‏أما معاوية، فصعلوك لا مال له ، وأما أبوالجهم، فلا يضع العصا عن عاتقه‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏
وفي رواية لمسلم ‏:‏ ‏”‏وأما أبو الجهم فضراب للنساء‏”‏ وهو تفسير لرواية‏:‏ ‏”‏ لا يضع العصا عن عاتقه‏”‏ وقيل‏:‏ معناه‏:‏ كثير الأسفار‏.‏
