حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، قَالَ: ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ: لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ، احْجُبْ نِسَاءَكَ. قَالَتْ: " فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ "، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ أَزْوَاجُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجْنَ لَيْلًا إِلَى لَيْلٍ قِبَلَ الْمَنَاصِعِ، فَخَرَجَتْ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ، وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَةً طَوِيلَةً، فَرَآهَا عُمَرُ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ عَرَفْتُكِ يَا سَوْدَةُ. حِرْصًا عَلَى أَنْ يُنْزَلَ الْحِجَابُ، قَالَتْ: " فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْحِجَابَ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the pure wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to go out to open fields at night to relieve themselves. Once, Sawda went out to relieve herself. Since she was tall and had a heavy build (people would recognize her), on the way she met Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He saw Sawda and called out to her from a distance, "Sawda! We have recognized you," and he said this hoping that the command of hijab would be revealed. Consequently, the verse of hijab was revealed.
