Bayhaqi 15378 — Revelation of on the waiting period (iddah)

أَخْبَرَنَا 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْمُطَلَّقَةِ عِدَّةٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ حِينَ طُلِّقَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِالْعِدَّةِ لِلطَّلَاقِ فَكَانَتْ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أُنْزِلَ فِيهَا الْعِدَّةُ لِلطَّلَاقِ ".
It is narrated from Asma' bint Yazid bin al-Sakan al-Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she (that is, Asma' bint Yazid, may Allah be pleased with her) was divorced in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and at that time there was no waiting period ('iddah) for divorced women. So Allah, exalted be His praise, revealed the verses concerning the waiting period of divorce when Asma' was divorced. She was the first woman concerning whom the waiting period of divorce was revealed.
[Hasan. Recorded by al-Sijistani 2281]
