[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."
