Sunan Abi Dawud 2297 (Book 13, Hadith 123) #22588
Doing Acts of Kindness After Divorce

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised a divorced woman to go out and cut down fruit from her palm trees, as it may lead to her doing an act of kindness or giving alms.

Jabir said "My maternal aunt was divorced by three pronouncements and she went out to cut down fruit from her palm trees. A man met her and forbade her (to go out). So she went to the Prophet and mentioned it to him. He said "Go out, and cut down fruit from your palm trees for perhaps you may give alms (sadaqah) or do an act of kindness.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ طُلِّقَتْ خَالَتِي ثَلاَثًا فَخَرَجَتْ تَجُدُّ نَخْلاً لَهَا فَلَقِيَهَا رَجُلٌ فَنَهَاهَا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا ‏ "‏ اخْرُجِي فَجُدِّي نَخْلَكِ لَعَلَّكِ أَنْ تَصَدَّقِي مِنْهُ أَوْ تَفْعَلِي خَيْرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the advice given by the Prophet (ﷺ) to a divorced woman. Jabir's maternal aunt was divorced by three pronouncements and she went out to cut down fruit from her palm trees. A man met her and forbade her from going out, so she went to the Prophet for advice. The Prophet told her that it was permissible for her to go out and cut down fruit from the palm trees, as it may lead to an act of kindness or giving alms. This hadith teaches us that even after divorce, one should not be discouraged but instead look for ways in which they can do good deeds such as acts of kindness or charity. It also shows us that we should always seek guidance when faced with difficult situations in life, rather than relying on our own judgement alone.
