[Machine] "Indeed, there were women from among the believers who used to witness with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Fajr (morning) prayer, and then they would return to their homes wrapped in their cloaks, with their faces covered, so as not to be recognized."  

أحمد:٢٦١١٠حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ نِسَاءً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ كُنَّ يَشْهَدْنَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ ثُمَّ يَنْقَلِبْنَ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِنَّ مَا يُعْرَفْنَ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ

The believing women covered with their veiling sheets used to attend the Fajr prayer with Allah's Apostle, and after finishing the prayer they would return to their home and nobody could recognize them because of darkness.  

البخاري:٥٧٨حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتْ

كُنَّ نِسَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَشْهَدْنَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةَ الْفَجْرِ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يَنْقَلِبْنَ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِنَّ حِينَ يَقْضِينَ الصَّلاَةَ لاَ يَعْرِفُهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ  

muslim:645bḤarmalah b. Yaḥyá > Ibn Wahb > Yūnus > Ibn Shihāb > ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr

The believing women observed the morning prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrapped in their mantles. They then went back to their houses and were unrecognisable, because of the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ praying in the darkness before dawn.  

مسلم:٦٤٥bوَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray subh and the women would leave wrapped in their garments and they could not yet be recognised in the darkness."  

مالك:١-٤وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ

إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ النِّسَاءُ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ مَا يُعْرَفْنَ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray Fajr (morning prayer) and then the believing women would leave wrapped in their outer garments, concealing themselves with what is known as a "ghalas" or, some of them do not recognize others.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ نِسَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ مَا يُعْرَفْنَ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ أَوْ قَالَ لَا يَعْرِفُ بَعْضُهُنَّ بَعْضًا

أَنَّ نِسَاءً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ كُنَّ يُصَلِّينَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعْنَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِنَّ وَمَا يَعْرِفُهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say the Fajr prayer after which the women would depart wrapped up their woolen garments, being unrecognizable because of the darkness before dawn. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 423)

[Machine] She said, "There were indeed women among the believers who used to pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, covered in their outer garments, during the Fajr (dawn) prayer. Then they would return to their homes without being recognized due to their simplicity."  

ابن حبّان:١٤٩٩أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْمُقْرِئُ بِوَاسِطَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «قَدْ كُنَّ نِسَاءٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يُصَلِّينَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعْنَ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِنَّ مَا يُعْرَفْنَ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ»
