Hadith text
Narrated Anas:I know (about) the Hijab (the order of veiling of women) more than anybody else. Ubai bin Ka`b used to ask me about it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became the bridegroom of Zainab bint Jahsh whom he married at Medina. After the sun had risen high in the sky, the Prophet (ﷺ) invited the people to a meal. Allah's Apostle remained sitting and some people remained sitting with him after the other guests had left. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up and went away, and I too, followed him till he reached the door of `Aisha's room. Then he thought that the people must have left the place by then, so he returned and I also returned with him. Behold, the people were still sitting at their places. So he went back again for the second time, and I went along with him too. When we reached the door of `Aisha's room, he returned and I also returned with him to see that the people had left. Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) hung a curtain between me and him and the Verse regarding the order for (veiling of women) Hijab was revealed
Anas bataate hain: Mujhe Hijab (auraton ke parde) ke hukm ke baare mein kisi se bhi zyaada pata hai. Ubai bin Ka'b mujhse iske baare mein poocha karte the. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) Zainab bint Jahsh ke dulha bane, jinse unhone Madina mein nikaah kiya. Jab suraj aasman mein kaafi upar aa gaya, Nabi (SAW) ne logon ko khaane ki dawat di. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) baithe rahe aur kuch log unke saath baithe rahe jab baaki mehmaan chale gaye. Phir Allah ke Rasool (SAW) uthe aur chale gaye, aur main bhi unke peechhe gaya yahaan tak ke wo Aisha ke kamre ke darwaaze tak pahunche. Phir unhein laga ke ab tak log wahaan se chale gaye honge, to wo wapas mude aur main bhi unke saath wapas gaya. Dekha to log abhi bhi apni jagah baithe the. To wo dobara wapas gaye, aur main bhi unke saath gaya. Jab hum Aisha ke kamre ke darwaaze tak pahunche, wo wapas mude aur main bhi unke saath wapas gaya, aur dekha ke log chale gaye the. Isper Nabi (SAW) ne mere aur apne beech ek parda laga diya, aur Hijab (parde) ke hukm ki Aayat naazil hui.
