Narration on Not Recognizing Believing Women in Fajr Prayer
Hadith 174
174 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كُنَّ نِسَاءٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يُصَلِّينَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصُّبْحَ وَهُنَّ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٌ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعْنَ إِلَي أَهْلِيهِنَّ وَمَا يَعْرِفُهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ»
Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Believing women used to perform the Fajr prayer behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), having wrapped their sheets around themselves. Then (after finishing the prayer) they would return to their homes, and due to the darkness, no one could recognize them.
