bayhaqi:15378Abū ʿAlī al-Rūdhbārī > Abū Bakr b. Dāsah > Abū Dāwud > Sulaymān b. ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Bahrānī > Yaḥyá b. Ṣāliḥ > Ismāʿīl b. ʿAyyāsh > ʿAmr b. Muhājir from his father > Asmāʾ b. Yazīd b. al-Sakan al-Anṣāriyyah

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2281)   

البيهقي:١٥٣٧٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ نا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ نا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ

أَنَّهَا طُلِّقَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْمُطَلَّقَةِ عِدَّةٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ حِينَ طُلِّقَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِالْعِدَّةِ لِلطَّلَاقِ فَكَانَتْ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أُنْزِلَ فِيهَا الْعِدَّةُ لِلطَّلَاقِ

أبو داود:٢٢٨١حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ الأَنْصَارِيَّةِ
