It was said that in the year 10 AH, Abu Umar bin Hafs divorced Fatima irrevocably when he was away from her on return from a trip to Yemen as his agent was sent to give her some barley, but she exasperated him. Learning of this Abu Umar replied, 'By God, you will have nothing form me!, and so the divorce. She went to his family and asked them to provide her with lodging and maintenance and they refused. Later, on reccomendation of the Prophet, she married Usama. Usama died in 54 AH and that Fatima never remarried, instead she lived with her brother, Dahhak ibn Qays.
