English translation

402. Narrated 'Umar (bin Al-Khaṭṭāb) رضي الله عنه: My Lord agreed (accepted my invocation) with me in three things: 1. I said, "O Allāh's Messenger, I wish we took the "Maqām" (place) of Ibrāhīm (Abraham) as our praying place [for some of our Ṣalāt (prayers)]. So came the Divine Revelation: ...And take you (people) the Maqām (place) of Ibrāhīm (Abraham) (or the stone on which Ibrāhīm عليه السلام stood while he was building the Ka'bah) as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g., two Rak'ā after the Tawāf of Ka'bah)". (V.2:125) 2. And as regards the (Verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! I wish you ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.' So the Verse of the veiling of the women was revealed. [V.24:31 and V.33:59] 3. Once the wives of the Prophet ﷺ made united front against the Prophet ﷺ and I said to them, 'It may be if he (the Prophet ﷺ) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allāh) will give him instead of you wives better than you.' So this Verse [(V.66:5) the same as I had said] was revealed."

402 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، " وَافَقْتُ رَبِّي فِي ثَلاَثٍ: فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَوِ اتَّخَذْنَا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى، فَنَزَلَتْ: {وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى} [البقرة: 125] وَآيَةُ الحِجَابِ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَوْ أَمَرْتَ نِسَاءَكَ أَنْ يَحْتَجِبْنَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُكَلِّمُهُنَّ البَرُّ وَالفَاجِرُ، فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الحِجَابِ، وَاجْتَمَعَ نِسَاءُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الغَيْرَةِ عَلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُنَّ: (عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبَدِّلَهُ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ)، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ " قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا بِهَذَا
