4483. Narrated Anas: ‘Umar رضي الله عنه said, “I agreed with Allāh in three things,” or said, “My Lord agreed with me (accepted my invocation) in three things. I said, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Would that you took the Maqām (place) of Ibrāhīm (Abraham) as a place of Ṣalāt (prayer).’ I also said, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Good and bad persons visit you! Would that you ordered the Mothers of the believers to cover themselves with veils.’ So the Divine Verses of Al-Hijāb (i.e., veiling of the women) were revealed. I came to know that the Prophet ﷺ had blamed some of his wives, so, I entered upon them and said, ‘You should either stop (troubling the Prophet ﷺ) or else Allāh will give His Messenger ﷺ better wives than you.’ When I came to one of his wives, she said to me, 'O 'Umar! Does Allāh's Messenger ﷺ haven't what he could advise his wives with, that you try to advise them?' Thereupon Allāh revealed: 'It may be if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you, - Muslims (who submit to Allāh)...'" (V.66:5)
