Musnad Abi Ya'la 3918 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ consummated
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : بَنَى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهَا طَعَامًا ، وَأَوْلَمَ عَلَيْهَا خُبْزًا وَلَحْمًا ، قَالَ : فَأُرْسِلْتُ ، وَأُغْطِيَ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ ، فَدَعَوْتُ ، فَيَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ فَيَأْكُلُونَ ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُونَ ، فَدَعَوْتُ حَتَّى مَا أَجِدُ أَحَدًا أَدْعُوهُ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ أَحَدًا أَدْعُوهُ ، قَالَ : فَارْفَعُوا طَعَامَكُمْ ، وَإِنَّ زَيْنَبَ لَجَالِسَةٌ فِي جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً قَدْ أَعْطِيَتْ جَمَالًا ، وَبَقِيَ فِي الْبَيْتِ ثَلَاثَةُ رَهْطٍ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فِي الْبَيْتِ ، وَخَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَانْطَلَقَ نَحْوَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ ، فَقَالَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ ، كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتُمْ ؟ قَالَتْ : وَعَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ ، كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ أَهْلَكَ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِيهِنَّ ؟ قَالَ : فَاسْتَقْرَأَ حُجَرَ نِسَائِهِ كُلِّهِنَّ ، يَقُولُ لَهُنَّ كَمَا قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ ، وَيَقُلْنَ لَهُ كَمَا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ فَإِذَا الرَّهْطُ الثَّلَاثَةُ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فِي الْبَيْتِ ، وَكَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - شَدِيدُ الْحَيَاءِ ، فَانْطَلَقَ نَحْوَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ ، فَمَا أَدْرِي أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُهُ ، أَوْ أُخْبِرَ ، أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا ، فَرَجَعَ ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ فِي أُسْكُفَّةِ الْبَابِ وَالْأُخْرَى خَارِجَهُ أَرْخَى سِتْرًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ ، فَأُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) consummated his marriage with Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) and arranged bread and meat for the wedding feast (walimah). I was sent to invite the people, and the food had been covered. I kept inviting people; people would come, eat and leave, until I said: "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I can no longer find anyone to invite." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then lift your food away." At that time Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) was sitting in a corner of the house, and she was a very beautiful woman. Meanwhile a group of three men remained in the house, busy talking. The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out of the house towards the apartment of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "'Al-salamu alaykum ahl al-bayt wa rahmatullah, kayfa asbahtum?' (Peace and the mercy of Allah be upon you, O people of the house; how did you enter the morning?)" She replied: "And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. How did you find your family? May Allah Almighty bless you in them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the apartments of all his pure wives one after another, and said to them the same thing he had said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and they too gave the same reply that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) had given. Then the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came back, and those three men were still sitting in the house talking. Since the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was extremely modest, (he said nothing to them and again) went towards the apartment of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). I do not remember whether I informed him (peace and blessings be upon him) or he (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed that those people had left. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) came back, and when he had placed one foot inside the threshold and the other outside, he let down a curtain between me and himself, and on that occasion the verse of hijab was revealed.
