Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1051

Translation

✧ He was ten years old when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah. My mothers urged me to serve him, and I served him for ten years. He died when I was twenty years old, so I was the most knowledgeable of people about the matter of the veil. The first time it was revealed was when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Zaynab bt. Jaḥsh. He awoke with her as a bridegroom and invited the people. They ate the food, then left, but a group remained with the Prophet ﷺ and stayed long. He stood and went out, and I went out so that they might leave. He walked and I walked with him until he reached the threshold of ʿĀʾisha's room. Then he thought they had left, so he returned and I returned with him until he entered upon Zaynab, but they were still sitting. He returned and I returned until he reached the threshold of ʿĀʾisha's room, and he thought they had left. He returned and I returned with him, and they had left. The Prophet ﷺ then drew the curtain between me and him, and the verse of veiling was revealed.
