I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while Maymunah was with him. Then Ibn Umm Maktum came. This happened when we were ordered to observe veil (purdah). The Prophet ﷺ said: Observe veil from him. We asked: Messenger of Allah! is he not blind? He can neither see us nor recognise us. The Prophet ﷺ said: Are both of you blind? Do you not see him? AbuDawud said: This was peculiar to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ. Do you not see that Fatimah daughter of Qays passed her waiting period with Ibn Umm Maktum. The Prophet ﷺ said to Fatimah daughter of Qays: Pass your waiting period with Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man. You can put off your clothes with him.

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ مَيْمُونَةُ فَأَقْبَلَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أُمِرْنَا بِالْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ احْتَجِبَا مِنْهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَيْسَ أَعْمَى لاَ يُبْصِرُنَا وَلاَ يَعْرِفُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَفَعَمْيَاوَانِ أَنْتُمَا أَلَسْتُمَا تُبْصِرَانِهِ

to Ibn Shihab, that Umm Salamah narrated to him, that she and Maimunah were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, she said: "So when we were with him, Ibn Umm Maktum came, and he entered upon him, and that was after veiling had been ordered for us. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Veil yourselves from him.' So I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Is he not blind such that he can not see us or recognize us?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Are you two blind such that you can not see him?'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2778)

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَيْمُونَةُ فَأَقْبَلَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَمَرَنَا بِالْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ احْتَجِبَا مِنْهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَيْسَ أَعْمَى لَا يُبْصِرُنَا وَلَا يَعْرِفُنَا؟ قَالَ أَفَعَمْيَاوَانِ أَنْتُمَا أَلَسْتُمَا تُبْصِرَانِهِ؟

[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Maymuna was with him when the son of Um Maktum came forward. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Turn away from him." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, is he not blind and cannot see us or recognize us?" He said, "Are you both not able to see him?"

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ مَيْمُونَةُ فَأَقْبَلَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْثُومٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «احْتَجِبَا مِنْهُ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَيْسَ بِأَعْمَى لَا يُبْصِرُنَا وَلَا يَعْرِفُنَا؟ فَقَالَ «وَإِنْ أَنْتُمَا أَلَسْتُمَا تُبْصِرَانِهِ؟»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and Maimuna while we were sitting. He sat down and then Ibn Umm Maktum, who was blind, came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Cover yourselves from him." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, isn't he blind and cannot see us?" He replied, "Are you both not able to see him?"

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأنا وَمَيْمُونَةُ جَالِسَتَانِ فَجَلَسَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ الْأَعْمَى فَقَالَ «احْتَجِبَا مِنْهُ» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَيْسَ بِأَعْمَى لَا يُبْصِرُنَا قَالَ «فَأَنْتُمَا لَا تُبْصِرَانِهِ؟»
