Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2052b
"عَنْ نافع وغيرهِ: أن الرجالَ والنساءَ كانوا يَخْرجُونَ بِهم سَواء، فلما ماتَتْ زينبُ بنتُ جحش أمرَ عمر مناديًا فنادى أَلَا لَا يَخْرجْ على زينبَ إلا ذو محرم من أهلِها، فقالت ابنة عميس: يا أمير المؤمنين ألا أريك شيئا رأيت الحبشة تصنعه لنسائها؟ فجعلت نعشًا وغشته ثوبًا، فلما نظر إليه قال: ما أحسنَ هذا! ما أسْتَر هذا! فأمرَ مناديًا فنادى أن اخْرُجُوا على أُمِّكم".

"It is narrated from Nafi' and others that men and women used to go out together with the dead. When Zaynab bint Jahsh died, 'Umar commanded a herald, who proclaimed: Let no one go out with Zaynab except a mahram from her family. Then the daughter of 'Umays said: O Commander of the Faithful, shall I not show you something I saw the Abyssinians making for their women? So she made a bier and covered it with a cloth. When he looked at it, he said: How good this is! How concealing this is! So he commanded a herald, who proclaimed: Go out, all of you, behind your mother."
