حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ أَوْ مِنْ أَعْلَمِ النَّاسِ بِآيَةِ الْحِجَابِ، " تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ جَحْشٍ، فَذَبَحَ شَاةً، فَدَعَا أَصْحَابَهُ، فَأَكَلُوا وَقَعَدُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجُ وَيَدْخُلُ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَيَمْكُثُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ وَيَرْجِعُ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ، وَزَيْنَبُ قَاعِدَةٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ، وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا، فَنَزَلَتْ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا، ، بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا} [الأحزاب: ٥٣] الْآيَاتُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} [الأحزاب: ٥٣] ، قَالَ: فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحِجَابِ (١) مَكَانَهُ، فَضُرِبَ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the command of veiling (purdah) was revealed, I know the circumstances of that time better than anyone else. That night, the Prophet (ﷺ) was in seclusion with Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), and in the morning the Prophet (ﷺ) was a bridegroom. After that, the Prophet (ﷺ) invited people, they came, ate food, and left, but some people remained sitting there and stayed for quite a while until the Prophet (ﷺ) himself got up and went outside. I also went outside so that they might leave as well, but they kept sitting. This happened repeatedly. Meanwhile, Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) was sitting in a corner. The Prophet (ﷺ) felt shy to say anything to them regarding her. On this occasion, this verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless you are invited for a meal," and do not wait for its preparation. But when you are invited, then enter. Then, at the command of the Prophet (ﷺ), the curtain was drawn.
