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 Mas'ud died, and his wife inherited his house in Medina.
