[Machine] 'Omar bin Al-Khattab used to say to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Cover your wives." She (one of the wives) said, "But the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ go out at night to the Al-Manasi (the places of relieving oneself).” So, Saudah bint Zam'ah, a tall woman, went out and 'Umar recognized her while he was in the mosque. He said, "I have recognized you, O Saudah, because of your keenness for the veil to be revealed." Allah ﷻ then revealed the verse of the veil.'
