مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 110
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I invited the Muslims to the wedding feast of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the morning he consummated his marriage with Zaynab bint Jaḥsh. He fed the Muslims bread and meat until they were satisfied. He then went around to the apartments of his wives as he used to do, greeted them, and they prayed [for blessings] upon him. He then returned home and I was with him. When he reached the house, there were two men engaged in conversation in a corner of the room. When he saw them he turned and left. When the two men saw that the Prophet ﷺ had left, they hastily got up and departed. I do not know whether I informed him or whether he was told by someone else; he returned to his house, lowered the curtain between himself and me, and then the verse of ḥijāb was revealed.

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: دَعَوْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى وَلِيمَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَبِيحَةَ بَنَى بِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، فَأَشْبَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خُبْزًا وَلَحْمًا. قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَجَعَ كَمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فَأَتَى حُجَرَ نِسَائِهِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَدَعَوْنَ لَهُ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلَانِ قَدْ جَرَى بَيْنَهُمَا الْحَدِيثُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ، فَلَمَّا بَصَرَ بِهِمَا وَلَّى رَاجِعًا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى الرَّجُلَانِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ وَلَّى عَنْ بَيْتِهِ قَامَا مُسْرِعَيْنِ، فَلَا أَدْرِي أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَوْ أُخْبِرَ بِهِ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنِي، وَأُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ.
