851. It was reported from the freed slave of Asmā’ bint Abī Bakr, from Asmā’ bint Abī Bakr, that she said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: ‘She (i.e., the women) among you who believes in Allāh and the Last Day — let her not raise her head until the men raise theirs.’ (He said this) due to the fact that he disliked that they should see the Awrah of the men.” (Da‘īf)
851 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مَوْلًى لِأَسْمَاءَ ابْنَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُنَّ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، فَلَا تَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهَا حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ الرِّجَالُ رُءُوسَهُمْ، كَرَاهَةَ أَنْ يَرَيْنَ مِنْ عَوْرَاتِ الرِّجَالِ»

Meaning, that at certain times, the men did not have more than one garment, or few garments, and something may be exposed, so the women should wait before raising their heads. See number 678 for related comments.
