قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ} [النور: 31]
ʿAisha used to say: "When (the Verse): "They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms," was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their heads and faces with those cut pieces of cloth." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4759)
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ} [النور 31] قَالَتْ أَخَذْنَ النِّسَاءُ أُزُرَهُنَّ فَشَقَقْنَهَا مِنْ نَحْوِ الْحَوَاشِي فَاخْتَمَرْنَ بِهَا
