Sahih al-Bukhari 4794

Hadith text

Narrated Anas:When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married Zainab bint Jahsh, he made the people eat meat and bread to their fill (by giving a Walima banquet). Then he went out to the dwelling places of the mothers of the believers (his wives), as he used to do in the morning of his marriage. He would greet them and invoke good on them, and they (too) would return his greeting and invoke good on him. When he returned to his house, he found two men talking to each other; and when he saw them, he went out of his house again. When those two men saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ): going out of his house, they quickly got up (and departed). I do not remember whether I informed him of their departure, or he was informed (by somebody else). So he returned, and when he entered the house, he lowered the curtain between me and him. Then the Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed

Anas bataate hain: Jab Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne Zainab bint Jahsh se nikaah kiya, to unhone logon ko peth bhar kar gosht aur roti khilaayi (Walima ki dawat dekar). Phir wo apni azwaaj ke gharon ki taraf gaye, jaisa wo nikaah ki subah kiya karte the. Wo unhein salaam karte aur unke liye dua karte, aur wo bhi unhein salaam ka jawab dete aur unke liye dua karte. Jab wo apne ghar wapas aaye, to unhone do aadmiyon ko aapas mein baat karte paaya; unhein dekh kar wo dobara apne ghar se baahar chale gaye. Jab un dono aadmiyon ne Nabi (SAW) ko baahar jaate dekha, to wo jaldi se uth (kar chale) gaye. Mujhe yaad nahi ke maine unhein unke jaane ki khabar di ya kisi aur ne bataayi. To wo (Nabi) wapas aaye, aur jab ghar mein daakhil hue, to unhone mere aur apne beech parda gira diya. Phir Hijab ki Aayat naazil hui.
