Follow Islamic teachings even when they may be difficult or unpopular at times , Respect for women's rights , Pronounce your own divorce three times without needing permission

This hadith speaks about the rights of women in regards to divorce. It is narrated by Yahya who heard it from Malik who heard it from Ibn Shihab who heard it from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr that a mawla of the tribe of Banu Adi called Zabra told him that she had been the wife of a slave when she was a slave-girl. After being set free, Zabra sent a message to Hafsa, the wife of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asking for advice on what to do regarding her marriage situation. Hafsa advised Zabra that since she was now free, she had authority over herself as long as her husband did not have intercourse with her; however if he did then Zabra would no longer have any authority in this matter and should pronounce divorce three times in order to be legally divorced according to Islamic law. This hadith teaches us about women’s rights in Islam which are often overlooked or ignored today but were very important during Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ time and still remain so today according to Islamic teachings.
