Bayhaqi 13534 — Reports on elderly women past childbearing

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ قَالَا: نا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ قَالَ: كُنَّا نَدْخُلُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، وَقَدْ جَعَلَتِ الْجِلْبَابَ هَكَذَا، وَتَنَقَّبَتْ بِهِ فَنَقُولُ لَهَا رَحِمَكِ اللهُ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحًا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَاتٍ بِزِينَةٍ} [النور: ٦٠] هُوَ الْجِلْبَابُ قَالَ فَتَقُولُ لَنَا: أِيُّ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ؟ فَنَقُولُ: {وَأَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَّ} [النور: ٦٠] فَتَقُولُ: " هُوَ إِثْبَاتُ الْجِلْبَابِ ".
Asim al-Ahwal (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We used to visit Hafsah bint Sirin (may Allah have mercy on her), and she would have put on her outer cloak like this and veiled her face with it. We would say to her: May Allah have mercy on you! Allah Almighty says: "And the elderly women who have no hope of marriage, there is no blame on them if they put aside their garments, not displaying adornment" [Surah al-Nur: 60], and that is the outer cloak. She would say to us: What comes after that? We would say: "But to refrain is better for them" [Surah al-Nur: 60]. She would say: That means keeping the outer cloak on.
