Shahih Muslim - 2571

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku ['Amru An Naqid] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ya'qub bin Ibrahim bin Sa'd] telah menceritakan kepada kami [ayahu] dari [Shalih], [Ibnu Syihab] berkata; Sesungguhnya [Anas bin Malik] pernah berkata; "Saya adalah orang yang lebih tahu tentang ayat hijab, sesungguhnya Ubay bin Ka'ab pernah bertanya kepadaku tentang hal itu." Anas berkata; Di pagi hari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengadakan pesta pernikahan dengan Zainab binti Jahsy. Anas berkata; Beliau menikahinya ketika di Madinah, lalu beliau mengundang orang-orang untuk menikmati jamuan ketika waktu mulai siang. Lantas Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam duduk, dan orang-orang pun duduk di samping beliau, kemudian Rasulullah berdiri dan berjalan, saya mengikuti beliau berjalan, sampai tiba di depan pintu kamar 'Aisyah. Beliau mengira bahwa tamu undangan telah pulang, maka beliau kembali, saya pun ikut kembali bersama beliau, Ternyata mereka masih duduk-duduk di tempat semula. Maka beliau pulang (ke rumah 'Aisyah) dan saya pun mengikuti beliau pulang yang kedua kalinya, hingga beliau tiba di kamar 'Aisyah. Kemudian beliau kembali lagi dan saya pun ikut beliau kembali, ternyata mereka telah pergi, lantas beliau menurunkan tirai antara saya dan beliau, kemudian Allah menurunkan ayat hijab." (HR. Muslim: 2571)

Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was the best informed among the people pertaining to Hijab (veil and seclusion). Ubayy b. Ka'b used to ask me about it. Anas (Allah be pleased with him) thus narrated: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) got up in the morning as a bridegroom of Zainab bint jahsh (Allah be pleased witt her) as he had married her at Medina. He invited people to the wedding feast after the day had well risen. There sat Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and there kept sitting along with him some persons after the people had stood up (for departure) ; then Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood up and walked on and I also walked along with him until he reached the door of the apartment of 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her). He then thought that they (those who had been sitting there after meal) had gone away. So he returned and I also returned with him, but they were still sitting at their places. So he returned for the second time and I also returned until he reached the apartment of 'A'isha. He again returned and I also returned and they had (by that time) stood up, and he hung a curtain between me and him (at the door of the apartment of Hadrat Zainab, where he had to stay), and Allah revealed the verse pertaining to veil. (Muslim: 2571)
