2281. Asmā' bint Yazīd bin As-Sakan Al-Anṣāriyyah narrated that she was divorced (by her husband) during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and at that time there used to be no waiting period for the divorcee. So when she was divorced, Allāh revealed the waiting period for the divorced lady. Therefore, she was the first regarding whom these Verses of the waiting period for divorced women were applied. (Hasan)
2281 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ، أَنَّهَا «طُلِّقَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْمُطَلَّقَةِ عِدَّةٌ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حِينَ طُلِّقَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِالْعِدَّةِ لِلطَّلَاقِ، فَكَانَتْ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهَا الْعِدَّةُ لِلْمُطَلَّقَاتِ»

It is said that Asmā' bint Yazīd was the (paternal) cousin of Mu'adh bin Jabal. She had given the pledge of loyalty to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and was a message-bearer for women, carrying their messages to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. In the Battle of Yarmūk, she killed nine Romans using a tent pole taken from her tent.
