Hadith 382

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَرْج ، عَنْ أُمِّ صُبَيَّةَ الْجُهَنِيَّةِ ، قَالَتْ : " رُبَّمَا اخْتَلَفَتْ يَدِي ، وَيَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْوُضُوءِ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ ابْنُ مَاجَةَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ : أُمُّ صُبَيَّةَ هِيَ خَوْلَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ ، فَذَكَرْتُ لِأَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، فَقَالَ : صَدَقَ .
´It was narrated that Umm Subyah Al-Juhaniyyah said:` "Often my hand would touch the hand of the Messenger of Allah while performing ablution from a single vessel." (Hasan) Abu `Abdullah bin Majah said: "I heard Muhammad say: 'Umm Subyah was Khawlah bint Qais. I mentioned that to Abu Zur`ah and he said: "It is true."

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
It is possible that this incident occurred before the command of veiling (hijab) was revealed, or perhaps she had such a relationship with the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) due to which veiling was not obligatory.
And Allah knows best.

Explanation:
There is no relationship of mahram established between Sayyidah Khawlah radi Allahu anha and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This incident is perhaps from before the revelation of the verses of hijab in 6 AH.
