[AI] When the Prophet ﷺ married Zaynab, Umm Sulaym gave him a dish of barley in a bowl made of stones. Anas said, "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Go and invite anyone you meet.' So, I invited whoever I met, and they started entering and eating until they were satisfied." The Prophet ﷺ then placed his hand on the food, made a supplication, and said, "Whatever Allah wishes to say." Anas continued, "I did not leave anyone whom I met without inviting them, and they all ate until they were full and left." Then, a group of them remained and continued to talk to the Prophet ﷺ, causing him to feel shy to ask them to leave. He eventually left them in the house. Later, Allah revealed the verse: "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are invited, then enter" (Quran 33:53) until the part: "for your hearts and their hearts" (Quran 33:53).

لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ أَهْدَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّسُلَيْمٍ حَيْسًا فِي تَوْرٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاذْهَبْ فَادْعُ مَنْ لَقِيتَ فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ مَنْ لَقِيتُ فَجَعَلُوا يَدْخُلُونَ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَخْرُجُونَ وَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ فدَعَا فِيهِ وَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَلَمْ أَدَعْ أَحَدًا لَقِيتُهُ إِلَّا دَعَوْتُهُ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَخَرَجُوا فَبَقِيَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ فَأَطَالُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدِيثَ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَسْتَحيِي مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا فَخَرَجَ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا} [الأحزاب 53] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ} [الأحزاب 53]

[AI] "I am the most knowledgeable of people or the most knowledgeable of people regarding the verse of Hijab. The Prophet ﷺ married Zainab bint Jahsh and slaughtered a sheep, then he called his companions and they ate and sat talking. The Prophet ﷺ would go out and enter while they were sitting, then he would go out and stay for as long as Allah wished, and he would return while they were sitting, and Zainab would be sitting in a corner of the house. The Prophet ﷺ felt shy to say anything to them, so the verse was revealed: 'O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are invited, then enter' [Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 53] The verses continued until the statement 'and ask them from behind a partition' [Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 53]. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the Hijab to be in place and it was struck."

أَنَا أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ أَوْ مِنْ أَعْلَمِ النَّاسِ بِآيَةِ الْحِجَابِ تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ جَحْشٍ فَذَبَحَ شَاةً فَدَعَا أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَكَلُوا وَقَعَدُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ وَيَدْخُلُ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَيَمْكُثُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ وَيَرْجِعُ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ وَزَيْنَبُ قَاعِدَةٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا فَنَزَلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوابُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا} [الأحزاب 53] الْآيَاتُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} [الأحزاب 53] قَالَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْحِجَابِ مَكَانَهُ فَضُرِبَ

[AI] I know people by this verse, when Zainab was given to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she was with him in the house and made food, then the people came, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and the people stayed in their places, and he returned while the people were sitting. So Allah revealed, "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are invited, then enter; and when you have eaten, disperse without seeking to remain for conversation. Indeed, that [behavior] was troubling the Prophet, and he is shy of [dismissing] you. But Allah is not shy of the truth. And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck the curtain and the people stood up.

أَنَا أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ لَمَّا أُهْدِيَتْ زَيْنَبُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا فَجَاءَ الْقَوْمُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ وَالْقَوْمُ مَكَانَهُمْ وَيَرْجِعُ وَالْقَوْمُ قُعُودٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا فَإِذَا طَعِمْتُمْ فَانْتَشِرُوا وَلَا مُسْتَأْنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ فَيَسْتَحِيِي مِنْكُمْ وَاللهُ لَا يَسْتَحِيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحِجَابَ وَقَامَ الْقَوْمُ

[AI] I heard Anas say that Zainab used to boast over the wives of the Prophet ﷺ , saying, "Allah married me to him from the Heavens," and this verse was revealed regarding her hijab. The Prophet ﷺ went out of the house while they were seated, then returned and found them still seated until this matter was visible in his face. So Allah revealed the verse, "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness" [Al-Ahzab 53].

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ كَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَنْكَحَنِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ» وَفِيهَا نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَهُمْ قَعُودٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى رُئِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ} [الأحزاب 53]

[AI] Zainab bint Jash, one of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , used to boast and say, "Indeed, Allah married me from the heavens, and the verse of hijab (veiling) was revealed therein." People gathered in the Prophet's house, then he came out and they saw the joy on his face. Then the verse of hijab was revealed: "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when permitted for a meal" [Surah Al-Ahzab 33:53].

ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ ؓ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ أَنْكَحَنِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَفِيهَا نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ قَالَ فَقَعَدَ الْقَوْمُ فِي بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَخَرَجَ فَجَاءَ وَالْقَوْمُ كَمَا هُمْ فَرُئِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ} [الأحزاب 53]
