"عن ابن عباس أَنَّهُ قال لعمر بن الخطاب: بِمَ اسْتَحَبَّتْ النَّصَارَى الحجبَ على مذابحهم؟ قال: إنما اسْتَحَبَّت النصارى الحُجبَ على مذابحهم وَمَناسِكِهِمْ لِقولِ اللَّهِ: فاتخذَتْ من دونهم حجابًا".

"From Ibn 'Abbas: He said to Umar ibn al-Khattab: 'Why did the Christians prefer to place curtains over their altars?' He said: 'The Christians only preferred to place curtains over their altars and their places of worship because of the saying of Allah: "So they took from besides them a screen."'"
