Shahih Bukhari - 5769

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Sulaiman] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Yunus] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dia berkata; telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Anas bin Malik] bahwa ketika Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tiba di Madinah ia masih berusia sepuluh tahun. (Ia mengkisahkan); Maka aku menjadi pelayan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam selama sepuluh tahun semasa hayat beliau. Dan akulah orang yang paling mengerti tentang hijab ketika perintah itu diturunkan, Ubay bin Ka'b juga pernah bertanya kepadaku tentang hal itu. Perintah itu pertama kali turun di waktu pernikahan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dengan Zainab binti Jahsyi. Saat itu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tengah mengadakan pesta walimah, beliau mengundang orang-orang dan mereka pun menikmati makanan yang dihidangkan. Setelah itu, mereka pun keluar pergi, kecuali beberapa orang yang masih tetap berada di sisi Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, mereka sengaja memperlama duduk di situ. Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pun beranjak dan keluar, lalu aku pun ikut keluar bersama beliau agar orang-orang itu juga ikut keluar. Kemudian Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berjalan, dan aku juga ikut berjalan hingga sampai di ambang pintu rumah Aisyah. Lalu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengira, bahwa mereka yang duduk tadi telah keluar, maka beliau kembali lagi dan aku juga ikut kembali hingga beliau sampai di tempat Zainab, ternyata orang-orang itu masih ada di tempat semula dan belum beranjak pergi. Akhirnya Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pun kembali lagi dan aku juga ikut kembali bersamanya, ketika sampai di ambang pintu Aisyah, beliau menduga bahwa mereka pasti sudah pergi, maka beliau kembali lagi dan aku juga ikut kembali bersama beliau, ternyata orang-orang itu telah beranjak pergi, lalu turunlah ayat hijab hingga beliau meletakkan pembatas antara aku dan beliau." (HR. Bukhari: 5769)

Narrated Anas bin Malik: that he was a boy of ten at the time when the Prophet (ﷺ) emigrated to Medina. He added: I served Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for ten years (the last part of his life time) and I know more than the people about the occasion whereupon the order of Al-Hijab was revealed (to the Prophet (ﷺ)). Ubai b n Kaʿb used to ask me about it. It was revealed (for the first time) during the marriage of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with Zainab bint Jahsh. In the morning, the Prophet (ﷺ) was a bride-groom of her and he Invited the people, who took their meals and went away, but a group of them remained with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and they prolonged their stay. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up and went out, and I too, went out along with him till he came to the lintel of ʿAisha's dwelling place. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) thought that those people had left by then, so he returned, and I too, returned with him till he entered upon Zainab and found that they were still sitting there and had not yet gone. The Prophet (ﷺ) went out again, and so did I with him till he reached the lintel of ʿAisha's dwelling place, and then he thought that those people must have left by then, so he returned, and so did I with him, and found those people had gone. At that time the Divine Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed, and the Prophet (ﷺ) set a screen between me and him (his family). (Bukhari: 5769)
