[3506] 93 - (...) Anas bin Mâlik said: "I am the most knowledgeable of the people concerning Hijâb. Ubayy bin Ka'b used to ask me about it." Anas said: "The day after the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ married Zainab bint Jahsh, whom he married in Al-Madinah, he invited the people to come and eat in the mid-morning. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sat and some men sat with him after the people had left. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ got up and walked, and I walked with him, until he reached the door of 'Aishah's apartment. Then he thought that they had left, so he went back, and I went back with him, and they were still sitting there. Then he went back to 'Aishah's door a second time, and I went with him, then he went back and I went back, and they had left. Then he drew the curtain between myself and himself, and the verse of Hijâb was revealed."

93 - (1428) وحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِح، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: إِنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِالْحِجَابِ، لَقَدْ كَانَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْهُ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: «أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَرُوسًا بِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ»، قَالَ: «وَكَانَ تَزَوَّجَهَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَدَعَا النَّاسَ لِلطَّعَامِ بَعْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ النَّهَارِ، فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَجَلَسَ مَعَهُ رِجَالٌ بَعْدَ مَا قَامَ الْقَوْمُ، حَتَّى قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَشَى، فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ بَابَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ، ثُمَّ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا، فَرَجَعَ وَرَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ، فَإِذَا هُمْ جُلُوسٌ مَكَانَهُمْ، فَرَجَعَ فَرَجَعْتُ الثَّانِيَةَ، حَتَّى بَلَغَ حُجْرَةَ عَائِشَةَ، فَرَجَعَ فَرَجَعَتْ، فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ قَامُوا، فَضَرَبَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ بِالسِّتْرِ، وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ آيَةَ الْحِجَابِ»
