حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ مُظَاهِرٍ ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " طَلَاقُ الْأَمَةِ تَطْلِيقَتَانِ ، وَقُرْؤُهَا حَيْضَتَانِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ : حَدَّثَنِي مُظَاهِرٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مِثْلَهُ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " وَعِدَّتُهَا حَيْضَتَانِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهُوَ حَدِيثٌ مَجْهُولٌ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : الْحَدِيثَانِ جَمِيعًا لَيْسَ الْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِمَا . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : مُظَاهِرٌ لَيْسَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مَجْهُولٌ .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ said: The divorce of a slave-woman consists in saying it twice and her waiting period is two menstrual courses (qur') Abu Asim said: A similar tradition has been narrated to me by Muzahir and al-Qasim on the authority of Aishah from the Prophet ﷺ, except that he said: And her waiting period ('iddah) is two courses. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is obscure.

Benefits and Issues:
Imam Malik has mentioned in the Muwatta the legal verdicts (fatawa) of Hazrat Uthman, Hazrat Zayd bin Thabit, and Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (radi Allahu anhum) that a slave (ghulam) can issue two divorces (talaq), and the waiting period (‘iddah) for a slave-woman (bondwoman) is two menstrual cycles. That is, in the matter of divorce, the status of the husband—whether he is free or a slave—will be considered, and in the matter of ‘iddah, the status of the woman will be considered. Meaning, the waiting period for a free woman is three menstrual cycles, and for a slave-woman, it is two menstrual cycles. (Muwatta Imam Malik, Book of Divorce, Chapter: What Has Been Narrated Regarding the Divorce of a Slave: 2/118)
In any case, both of the aforementioned hadiths are weak; however, from the reports of the Companions (athar al-sahabah), it is established that if a slave divorces his wife—whether the wife is free or a slave—then for him, two divorces will be equivalent to three divorces.
And after issuing them at different times, he cannot take her back (ruju‘) until that divorced woman marries someone else in a proper marriage.
