Musnad Abi Ya'la 3666 — Sayyidah Umm Sulaym sent me to the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: بَعَثَتْنِي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ بِرُطَبٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى طَبَقٍ فِي أَوَّلِ مَا أَيْنَعَ ثَمَرُ النَّخْلِ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَأَصَابَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَخَرَجْنَا، فَكَانَ حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، قَالَ: فَمَرَّ بِنِسَاءٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَعِنْدَهُنَّ رِجَالٌ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ، قَالَ: هَنَّأْنَهُ وَهَنَّأُهُ النَّاسُ، فَقَالُوا: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَقَرَّ عَيْنَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَمَضَى حَتَّى أَتَى عَائِشَةَ فَإِذَا عِنْدَهَا رِجَالٌ قَالَ: فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ، وَكَانَ إِذَا كَرِهَ الشَّيْءَ عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: لَئِنْ كَانَ كَمَا قَالَ ابْنُكِ هَذَا لَيَحْدُثَنَّ أَمْرٌ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَشِيِّ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ، تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ} [الأحزاب: 53]، قَالَ: «فَأَمَرَ بِالْحِجَابِ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): "Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) sent me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with fresh dates on a platter, in the early days when the dates were ripening. I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and placed the platter before him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) ate some of it, then took me by the hand and we went out. In those days he (peace and blessings be upon him) had newly married Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her). He (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by some of his wives, and there were some men there talking. Those women and other people congratulated him (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: 'Praise be to Allah, who has cooled your eyes, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on until he came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and there too some men were sitting, which he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked. It was his (peace and blessings be upon him) way that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked something, its signs were recognised on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went back and informed Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), and Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'If the matter is as this son of yours has said, then some new command will certainly be revealed.' So when evening came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, sat on the pulpit and recited this blessed verse: 'O you who believe, do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you for a meal' [al-Ahzab: 53], and he (peace and blessings be upon him) issued the command of the veil (hijab)."
