On the reason for the revelation of the verse of hijab
Hadith 5578
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، وَعَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مِجْلَزٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ ، دَعَا الْقَوْمَ فَطَعِمُوا ، ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَهَيَّأُ لِلْقِيَامِ ، قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَقُومُوا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَامَ ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ مَنْ قَامَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ ، وَقَعَدَ ثَلاثَةٌ ، وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ ، فَإِذَا الْقَوْمُ جُلُوسٌ ، فَرَجَعَ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ قَامُوا ، فَانْطَلَقُوا ، فَجِئْتُ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ انْطَلِقُوا ، فَجَاءَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْخُلُ ، فَأَلْقَى الْحِجَابَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ ، وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ : يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ سورة الأحزاب آية 53 إِلَى قَوْلِهِ : إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظِيمًا سورة الأحزاب آية 53 " .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) married Lady Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), he invited people. The people ate the food and then sat down and began to talk. The narrator says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) showed as if he was about to stand up, but even then the people did not get up. When he saw this situation, he stood up. Some of those present also stood up, but three men still remained seated. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) (after going outside) returned and those people were still sitting. He went back again, then those people got up and left. I came and informed the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this: Those people have left, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came until he entered the house. When I was about to enter, he hung a curtain between me and himself. Allah Almighty (on this occasion) revealed this verse: "O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet until permission is given to you." This verse continues up to: "Indeed, this is great in the sight of Allah."
