She was from the foremost to accept Islam, but she concealed her Islam from her husband.
One day, he found her praying, so he threw her garments over her head and said, "You are practicing a religion and no one knows what it is."
From that day forward, he would harm her due to her Islam.
When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ, he went to Qays and said,
"O father of Yazid as for your wife Hawwa', it has reached me that you have mistreated her since she abandoned your religion, so fear Allah and guarantee me that you will not harm her again."
Qays agreed to only treat her kindly from that point on.
Qays said to his wife Hawwa', "O Hawwa', I met your companion Muhammad and he told me to treat you kindly.
I will comply with this, so you are free and I will never harm you again."
Thus, Hawwa began to openly display her Islam from that day forward.
She was from the narrators of hadith.
Her grandson Abdur-Rahman bin Bujayd reported that his grandmother Hawwa' bint Yazid said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
O Muslim women, none of you should consider even a burnt sheep's foot too insignificant to give to her neighbor."
[Sahih Muslim 1030]
