اُردوEn
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَيْمُونَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَأَقْبَلَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَمَرَنَا بِالْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ احْتَجِبَا مِنْهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَيْسَ أَعْمَى لَا يُبْصِرُنَا وَلَا يَعْرِفُنَا قَالَ أَفَعَمْيَاوَانِ أَنْتُمَا أَلَسْتُمَا تُبْصِرَانِهِ
Narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I and Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) were both sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This was after the command of veiling had been revealed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: Observe veil from him. We said: O Messenger of Allah! He is a blind man, he cannot see us nor recognize us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Are you both also blind? Do you not see him?
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This narration is weak, but the same ruling is established from the statement of Allah Ta’ala: {وَقُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ یَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ اَبْصَارِھِنَّ} … (An-Nur: 30) “And tell the believing women to lower their gaze…” All the narrations that are presented in opposition to this ruling contain an element of possibility (i.e., are open to interpretation).
