رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا 4795. Narrated 'Aishah عنها Sauda (the wife of the Prophet ﷺ) went out to answer the call of nature after it was made obligatory (for all the Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who knew her before could recognize her. So, 'Umar bin Al-Khattāb saw her and said, "O Sauda! By Allāh, you cannot hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be recognized on going out." Sauda returned while Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was in my house taking his supper, and a bone covered with meat was in his hand. She entered and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I went out to answer the call of nature and 'Umar said to me so-and-so." Then Allāh revealed upon him (the Prophet ﷺ) and when the state of Revelation was over and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put it down, he said (to Sauda), "You (women) have been allowed to go out for your needs."

4795 - حَدَّثَنِي زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: خَرَجَتْ سَوْدَةُ بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ الحِجَابُ لِحَاجَتِهَا، وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً جَسِيمَةً لاَ تَخْفَى عَلَى مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا، فَرَآهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: يَا سَوْدَةُ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا تَخْفَيْنَ عَلَيْنَا، فَانْظُرِي كَيْفَ تَخْرُجِينَ، قَالَتْ: فَانْكَفَأَتْ رَاجِعَةً، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِي، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَتَعَشَّى وَفِي يَدِهِ عَرْقٌ، فَدَخَلَتْ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِي، فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَتْ: فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رُفِعَ عَنْهُ، وَإِنَّ العَرْقَ فِي يَدِهِ مَا وَضَعَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُذِنَ لَكُنَّ أَنْ تَخْرُجْنَ لِحَاجَتِكُنَّ»
