حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَسْمَائَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّکَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ أَنَّهَا طُلِّقَتْ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَکُنْ لِلْمُطَلَّقَةِ عِدَّةٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حِينَ طُلِّقَتْ أَسْمَائُ بِالْعِدَّةِ لِلطَّلَاقِ فَکَانَتْ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهَا الْعِدَّةُ لِلْمُطَلَّقَاتِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2281
Amr ibn Muhajir reported on the authority of his father: Asma, daughter of Yazid ibn as-Sakan al-Ansariyyah, was divorced in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. No waiting period was prescribed for a divorced woman (at that time). When Asma was divorced, Allah, the Exalted, sent down the injunction of waiting period for divorce. She is the first of the divorced women about whom the verse relating to waiting period was sent down.
