[Machine] "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  

[Machine] 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  

[Machine] 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]
