Asma' bint Yazid said,
"Some food was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and it was offered to us.
We said, 'We do not have any appetite for it.'
He said:
لَا تَجْمَعْنَ جُوعًا وَكَذِبًا.

Asma bint Yazid was the first divorced woman to observe a waiting period.
Amr bin Muhajir narrated from his father that Asma bint Yazid bin as-Sakn 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 the waiting period for divorce.
She is the first of the divorced women about whom the verse relating to the waiting period was sent down.
