Hadith text

Narrated Anas:A banquet of bread and meat was held on the occasion of the marriage of the Prophet (ﷺ) to Zainab bint Jahsh. I was sent to invite the people (to the banquet), and so the people started coming (in groups); They would eat and then leave. Another batch would come, eat and leave. So I kept on inviting the people till I found nobody to invite. Then I said, "O Allah's Prophet! I do not find anybody to invite." He said, "Carry away the remaining food." Then a batch of three persons stayed in the house chatting. The Prophet (ﷺ) left and went towards the dwelling place of Aisha and said, "Peace and Allah's Mercy be on you, O the people of the house!" She replied, "Peace and the mercy of Allah be on you too. How did you find your wife? May Allah bless you. Then he went to the dwelling places of all his other wives and said to them the same as he said to Aisha and they said to him the same as Aisha had said to him. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) returned and found a group of three persons still in the house chatting. The Prophet was a very shy person, so he went out (for the second time) and went towards the dwelling place of `Aisha. I do not remember whether I informed him that the people have gone away. So he returned and as soon as he entered the gate, he drew the curtain between me and him, and then the Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed

Anas bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke Zainab bint Jahsh se nikaah ke mauqe par roti aur gosht ki dawat rakhi gayi. Mujhe logon ko bulaane bheja gaya, to log guton mein aate rahe; wo khaate aur chale jaate. Phir doosra gut aata, khaata aur chala jaata. Main logon ko bulaata rahaa yahaan tak ke mujhe koi aur bulaane ko nahi bacha. Phir maine kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Nabi! Mujhe koi aur bulaane ko nahi mil raha.' Unhone kaha, 'Bacha hua khaana hata do.' Phir teen aadmiyon ka ek gut ghar mein baithkar baaten karta raha. Nabi (SAW) wahaan se Aisha ke ghar ki taraf gaye aur kaha, 'Aap sab par salaam aur Allah ki rehmat ho, aye ghar walo!' Unhone jawab diya, 'Aap par bhi salaam aur Allah ki rehmat ho. Aapki biwi kaisi lagi? Allah aapko barkat de.' Phir wo apni baaki sab biwiyon ke ghar gaye aur unse bhi wahi kaha jo Aisha se kaha tha, aur unhone bhi wahi jawab diya jo Aisha ne diya tha. Phir Nabi (SAW) wapas aaye aur dekha ke teen logon ka wo gut abhi bhi ghar mein baithkar baaten kar raha hai. Nabi (SAW) bahut sharmeele the, isliye wo (dusri baar) baahar chale gaye aur Aisha ke ghar ki taraf gaye. Mujhe yaad nahi ke maine unhein bataya tha ke log chale gaye hain ya nahi. To wo wapas aaye aur jaise hi darwaaze mein daakhil hue, unhone mere aur apne beech parda kheench diya, aur phir Hijab ki Aayat naazil hui.
