[3502] 89 - (1428) It was narrated, and this is the Hadîth of Bahz, that, Anas said: "When the
'Iddah of Zainab was over, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to Zaid: 'Make mention of me to her (for marriage).' Zaid set out, and came to her when she was adding yeast to her dough. He said: When I saw her, I felt a great deal of respect for her, and I could not look at her, because the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had mentioned her. So I turned my back on her and stepped backwards, and I said: "O Zainab, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has sent a proposal of marriage to you." She said: "I will not do anything until I consult my Lord." Then she went to her prayer place. Then Qur'an was revealed, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came and entered upon her without permission." He said: "And I remember the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave us bread and meat to eat when it was daylight, then the people left, but some men stayed behind in the house, talking after the meal. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went out and I followed him. He started going around to the apartments of his wives, greeting them, and they said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, how did you find your wife?' I do not know whether I told him that those people had left or he told me. He went and entered the house, and I went to enter with him, but he drew the curtain between myself
and himself, and the verse of Hijâb was revealed, and the people were exhorted with what they were exhorted."
Ibn Râfi' added in his Hadîth: "Enter not the Prophet's houses, unless permission is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation" up to His saying: "Allâh is not shy of (telling you) the truth."

89 - (1428) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَا جَمِيعًا: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ بَهْزٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّةُ زَيْنَبَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِزَيْدٍ: «فَاذْكُرْهَا عَلَيَّ»، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ زَيْدٌ حَتَّى أَتَاهَا وَهِيَ تُخَمِّرُ عَجِينَهَا، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهَا عَظُمَتْ فِي صَدْرِي، حَتَّى مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَهَا، فَوَلَّيْتُهَا ظَهْرِي، وَنَكَصْتُ عَلَى عَقِبِي، فَقُلْتُ: يَا زَيْنَبُ: أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُكِ، قَالَتْ: مَا أَنَا بِصَانِعَةٍ شَيْئًا حَتَّى أُوَامِرَ رَبِّي، فَقَامَتْ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهَا، وَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ، وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ، قَالَ، فَقَالَ: وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَطْعَمَنَا الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ حِينَ امْتَدَّ النَّهَارُ، فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ وَبَقِيَ رِجَالٌ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فِي الْبَيْتِ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ، فَجَعَلَ يَتَتَبَّعُ حُجَرَ نِسَائِهِ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ، وَيَقُلْنَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ أَهْلَكَ؟ قَالَ: فَمَا أَدْرِي أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا أَوْ أَخْبَرَنِي، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ، فَأَلْقَى السِّتْرَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، وَنَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ، قَالَ: وَوُعِظَ الْقَوْمُ بِمَا وُعِظُوا بِهِ زَادَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: {لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ} [الأحزاب: 53] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَاللهُ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ} [الأحزاب: 53]
