4792. Narrated Anas bin Mālik: I, of all the people know best this verse of Al-Hijāb. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ married Zainab bin Jahsh رضي الله عنها, she was with him in the house and he prepared a meal and invited the people (to it). They sat down (after finishing their meal) and started chatting. So, the Prophet ﷺ went out and then returned several times while they were still sitting and talking. So Allāh revealed the Verse: “O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses, except when leave is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation... (up to) ... from behind a screen...” (V.33:53) So the screen was set up and the people went away.

4792 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ: آيَةِ الحِجَابِ " لَمَّا أُهْدِيَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كَانَتْ مَعَهُ فِي البَيْتِ صَنَعَ طَعَامًا وَدَعَا القَوْمَ، فَقَعَدُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ، فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ، وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ} [الأحزاب: 53] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} [الأحزاب: 53] فَضُرِبَ الحِجَابُ وَقَامَ القَوْمُ "
