Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I know more about the command of the veil. Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) used to ask me about it as well. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), the marriage took place in Madinah Munawwarah. After the day had risen, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) invited people to a meal. He was sitting, and some other companions were sitting with him. By that time, the other people (who had finished eating) had left. Eventually, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also stood up and started walking, and I walked with him. He reached the chamber of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), then he thought that those people (who had remained in the house after eating) might have left (so he returned). I also returned with him, but those people were still sitting in the same place. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went back again, and I returned with him again. He reached the chamber of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), then he returned from there, and I was with him. Now those people had left. After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) hung a curtain between himself and me, and the verse of the veil was revealed.
