حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَبَّاحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقْرَأُ ‏{‏أَلاَ إِنَّهُمْ تَثْنَوْنِي صُدُورُهُمْ‏}‏ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ أُنَاسٌ كَانُوا يَسْتَحْيُونَ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّوْا فَيُفْضُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَأَنْ يُجَامِعُوا نِسَاءَهُمْ فَيُفْضُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَنَزَلَ ذَلِكَ فِيهِمْ‏.‏

Narrated Muhammad bin `Abbas bin Ja`far:That he heard Ibn `Abbas reciting: "No doubt! They fold up their breasts." (11.5) and asked him about its explanation. He said, "Some people used to hide themselves while answering the call of nature in an open space lest they be exposed to the sky, and also when they had sexual relation with their wives in an open space lest they be exposed to the sky, so the above revelation was sent down regarding them

Muhammad bin Abbas bin Ja'far bataate hain ke unhone Ibn Abbas ko ye Aayat padhte suna, 'Khabardaar! Wo apne seene mod lete hain (chhupne ke liye)...' (11:5) aur unse iski tafseer poochi. Unhone kaha, 'Kuch log khuli jagah mein qaza-e-haajat (paakhaana) karte waqt chhup jaate the taake aasman ke saamne zaahir na ho jaayein, aur isi tarah khuli jagah mein apni biwiyon se humbistari karte waqt bhi, isi wajah se ye Aayat unke baare mein naazil hui.'
