حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ ابْنَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ مَقْدَمَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ أُمَّهَاتِي يُوَطِّنَّنِي عَلَى خِدْمَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَكُنْتُ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ بِشَأْنِ الْحِجَابِ حِينَ أُنْزِلَ، وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا أُنْزِلَ ابْتَنَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِهَا عَرُوسًا، فَدَعَا الْقَوْمَ فَأَصَابُوا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا وَبَقِيَ رَهْطٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَطَالُوا الْمُكْثَ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ، لِكَيْ يَخْرُجُوا، فَمَشَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَشَيْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ عَتَبَةَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ، وَظَنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا، فَرَجَعَ وَرَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ، فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا، فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ بِسِتْرٍ، وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْحِجَابَ

✧ He was ten years old when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah. He said: My mothers kept urging me to serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I was the most knowledgeable of people about the matter of the veil when it was revealed. The first part of it was revealed when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ consummated his marriage with Zaynab bt. Jahsh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became a bridegroom with her, invited the people, and they ate the food, then departed. A group of them remained with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and prolonged their stay. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and went out, and I went out with him so that they would leave. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ walked, and we walked with him until he reached the threshold of Aisha's chamber. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ thought they had left, so he returned, and I returned with him, and indeed they had left. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew a curtain between himself and them, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed the veil.
