(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ ابْنَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ مَقْدِمَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ أُمَّهَاتِي يُوطِْنَنِي عَلَى خِدْمَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَكُنْتُ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ بِشَأْنِ الْحِجَابِ حِينَ أُنْزِلَ ، وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا أُنْزِلَ ابْتَنَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ ، أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَا عَرُوسًا ، فَدَعَا الْقَوْمَ ، فَأَصَابُوا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ، وَبَقِيَ رَهْطٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَطَالُوا الْمُكْثَ ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجَ ، وَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ ، لِكَيْ يَخْرُجُوا ، فَمَشَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَشَيْنَا مَعَهُ ، حَتَّى جَاءَ عَتَبَةَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ ، وَظَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا ، فَرَجَعَ وَرَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ ، فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا ، فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ بِسِتْرٍ ، وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْحِجَابَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that at the time of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) arrival in Madinah Munawwarah, his age was ten years. He says that his mother used to encourage him to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), therefore, when the command of veil (purdah) was revealed, I knew the situation of that time better than anyone else. That night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had seclusion with Hazrat Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), and in the morning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was a bridegroom. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) invited the people, they came, ate food, and left, but some people remained sitting there and stayed for quite a while, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself got up and went outside. I also went outside so that they might leave as well. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and I, while walking, stopped at the threshold of Hazrat Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) chamber. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) thought that perhaps those people had now left, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, and I was with him. When we saw, indeed those people had gone. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered inside and hung a curtain, and Allah revealed the verse of hijab.
