Narrated Anas:
When Allah’s Apostle married Zainab bint Jahsh, he made the people eat meat and bread to their
fill (by giving a Walima banquet). Then he went out to the dwelling places of the mothers of the be –
lievers (his wives), as he used to do in the morning of his marriage. He would greet them and invoke
good on them, and they (too) would return his greeting and invoke good on him. When he returned
to his house, he found two men talking to each other; and when he saw them, he went out of his
house again. When those two men saw Allah’s Apostle: going out of his house, they quickly got up
(and departed). I do not remember whether I informed him of their departure, or he was informed
(by somebody else). So he returned, and when he entered the house, he lowered the curtain between
me and him. Then the Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed.

Narrated Aisha:
Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) went out to answer the call of nature after it was made obligatory
(for all the Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who knew her
before could recognize her. So ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said, “O Sauda! By Allah, you can –
not hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be recognized on going out.
Sauda returned while Allah’s Apostle was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with
meat was in his hand. She entered and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I went out to answer the call of
nature and ‘Umar said to me so-and-so.” Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet) and when the state
of inspiration was over and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put in down, he said (to
Sauda), “You (women) have been allowed to go out for your needs.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet, said, “Allah said, ‘I have prepared for My pious worshipers such things as no eye has
ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever thought of. All that is reserved, besides
which, all that you have seen, is nothing.” Then he recited:–
‘No soul knows what is kept hidden (in reserve) for them of joy as a reward for what they used to
do.’ (32.17)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 319:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Aflah, the brother of Abi Al-Quais, asked permission to visit me after the order of Al-Hijab was re –
vealed. I said, “I will not permit him unless I take permission of the Prophet about him for it was not
the brother of Abi Al-Qu’ais but the wife of Abi Al-Qu’ais that nursed me.” The Prophet entered upon
me, and I said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allah, the brother of Abi Al-Qu’ais asked permission to visit
me but I refused to permit him unless I took your permission.” The Prophet said, “What stopped you
from permitting him? He is your uncle.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The man was not the person who
had nursed me, but the woman, the wife of Abi Al-Qu’ais had nursed me.” He said, “Admit him, for

he is your uncle. Taribat Yaminuki (may your right hand be saved)” ‘Urwa, the sub-narrator added:
For that ‘Aisha used to say, “Consider those things which are illegal because of blood relations as il –
legal because of the corresponding foster relations.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 304:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “There is no believer but I, of all the people, I am the closest to him both in this
world and in the Hereafter. Recite if you wish: ‘The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own
selves.’ (33.6) so if a believer (dies) leaves some property then his relatives will inherit that property;
but if he is in debt or he leaves poor children, let those (creditors and children) come to me (that I
may pay the debt and provide for the children), for them I am his sponsor (surely).
