May Allah have mercy on the early immigrant women. When the verse "That they should draw their veils over their bosoms" was revealed, they tore their thick outer garments and made veils from them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4102)   

يَرْحَمُ اللهُ نِسَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الْأُوَلِ لَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ} [النور 31] شَقَقْنَ أَكْنَفَ قَالَ ابْنُ صَالِحٍ أَكْثَفَ مُرُوطِهِنَّ فَاخْتَمَرْنَ بِهَا  

[Machine] When this verse was revealed: "...and to draw forth their headcoverings over their bosoms" [Quran 24:31], the women of the Ansar took their aprons and tore them from the sides to cover themselves with it.  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ} [النور 31] أَخَذَ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ أُزُرَهُنَّ فَشَقَقْنَهُ مِنْ نَحْوَ الْحَوَاشِي فَاخْتَمَرْنَ بِهِ  

Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour whereas its odour would be smelt from such and such distance. (Using translation from Muslim 2128)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَمْ أَرَهُمَا قَطُّ قَوْمٌ مَعَهُمْ سِيَاطٌ كَأَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ يَضْرِبُونَ بِهَا النَّاسَ وَنِسَاءٌ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ مَائِلَاتٌ مُمِيلَاتٌ رُءُوسُهُنَّ كَأَمْثَالِ أَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْمَائِلَةِ لَا يَدْخُلْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يَجِدْنَ رِيحَهَا وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَتُوجَدُ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him to Heraclius, and when he returned, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him a Byzantine garment. He said, "Make it a shirt and give your wife a piece of it to wear underneath." When he turned away, he called him and said, "Order her to place something under it so that it does not touch her skin." And some say it was Abbas ibn Abd Allah who said, "Ibn Abi Shaybah related from Yahya ibn Ayub and Ibn Juraij that the sheikh narrated and Abdullah ibn Lahi'ah narrated from Musa ibn Jubair that Ubaid Allah ibn Abbas told him."  

بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ أَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُبْطِيَّةً فَقَالَ اجْعَلْ صَدْعَيْهَا قَمِيصًا وَأَعْطِ صَاحِبَتَكَ صَدِيعًا تَخْتَمِرُ بِهِ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى دَعَاهُ قَالَ مُرْهَا تَجْعَلُ تَحْتَهُ شَيْئًا لِئَلَّا يَصِفَ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ مَنْ قَالَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ أَكْثَرُ وَذَكَرَ فِيمَنْ قَالَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ gave me a thick Coptic garment as a gift that he received from Dahyah al-Kalbi. I then gave it to my wife to wear. The Prophet ﷺ asked me, "Why don't you wear the Coptic garment?" I replied, "I gave it to my wife to wear." He said, "Tell her to put underneath it a garment, for I fear that it may describe her bones."  

كَسَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُبْطِيَّةً كَثِيفَةً أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ دِحْيَةُ الْكَلْبِيُّ فَكَسَوْتُهَا امْرَأَتِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ لَا تَلْبَسُ الْقُبْطِيَّةَ؟ قُلْتُ كَسَوْتُهَا امْرَأَتِي فَقَالَ مُرْهَا فَلْتَجْعَلْ تَحْتَهَا غِلَالَةً فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَصِفَ عِظَامَهَا  

[Machine] A man, O Commander of the Faithful, I dressed her in it, my wife, and she entered the house and left, and I did not see her healing. So Umar said, "If she is not healing, then she is describing." And it is  

رَجُلٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَدْ أَلْبَسْتُهَا امْرَأَتِي فَأَقْبَلَتْ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَدْبَرَتْ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ يَشِفُّ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَشِفُّ فَإِنَّهُ يَصِفُ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] The passage translates to: "The khimar is only what covers the skin and hair."  

إِنَّمَا الْخِمَارُ مَا وَارَى الْبَشَرَةَ وَالشَّعَرَ  

[Machine] She said: Hafsah bint Abdul Rahman entered upon Aisha the Mother of the Believers and upon Hafsah wearing a thin veil, so Aisha tore it and covered her with a thick veil.  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ دَخَلَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَعَلَى حَفْصَةَ خِمَارٌ رَقِيقٌ فَشَقَّتْهُ عَائِشَةُ وَكَسَتْهَا خِمَارًا كَثِيفًا  

[Machine] She used to not pray except when urged.  

أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ لَا تُصَلِّي إِلَّا مُؤْتَزِرَةً  

[Machine] Abu Ubaid's statement is that it refers to the one that cannot be adorned and is confirmed by Aisha regarding women among the believing women who used to attend prayer with covered faces.  

أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ قَوْلُهُ عَطَلًا يَعْنِي الَّتِي لَا حُلِيَّ عَلَيْهَا وَثَابِتٌ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي نِسَاءٍ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ كُنَّ يَشْهَدْنَ الصَّلَاةَ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to offer the Fajr prayer and some believing women covered with their veiling sheets used to attend the Fajr prayer with him and then they would return to their homes unrecognized . (Using translation from Bukhārī 372)   

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَيَشْهَدُهَا مَعَهُ النِّسَاءُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعْنَ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَمَا يَعْرِفُهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ
