[Machine] Regarding seeking permission for the three private matters that Allah ordered in the Quran, Ibn Abbas said to them, "Indeed, Allah is the One who conceals and He loves concealment. The people did not have any barriers on their doors or curtains in their houses, so a man may suddenly come upon his servant or his child or his orphan in his private chamber while with his family. So Allah commanded them to seek permission for those private matters that Allah has specified. Then Allah revealed the veil and extended provision for them, so they took the veil and took curtain. The people saw that this was sufficient for them regarding seeking permission, as commanded by Allah." The sheikh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This is the narration of Ubaidullah ibn Abi Yazid and Ata, who weakened this narration. And Allah knows best."  

عَنِ الِاسْتِئْذَانِ فِي الثَّلَاثِ عَوْرَاتٍ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ بِهَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ اللهَ سِتِّيرٌ يُحِبُّ السَّتْرَ كَانَ النَّاسُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ سُتُورٌ عَلَى أَبْوَابِهِمْ وَلَا حِجَالٌ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ فَرُبَّمَا فَاجَأَ الرَّجُلَ خَادِمُهُ أَوْ وَلَدُهُ أَوْ يَتِيمُهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ فَأَمَرَهُمُ اللهُ ﷻ أَنْ يَسْتَأْذِنُوا فِي تِلْكَ الْعَوْرَاتِ الَّتِي سَمَّى الله ﷻ ثُمَّ جَاءَ اللهُ ﷻ بَعْدُ بِالسُّتُورِ وَبَسَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الرِّزْقِ فَاتَّخَذُوا السُّتُورَ وَاتَّخَذُوا الْحِجَالَ فَرَأَى النَّاسُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَفَاهُمْ مِنَ الِاسْتِئْذَانِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ حَدِيثُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ وَعَطَاءٍ يُضَعِّفُ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
