The Messenger of Allah sat and some men sat with him after the people had left. Then the Messenger of Allah At got up and walked, and I walked with him, until he reached the door of 'Aishah's apartment. Then he thought that they had left, so he went back, and I went back with him, and they were still sitting there. Then he went back to 'Aiah's door a second time, and I went with him, then he went back and I went back, and they had left. Then he drew the curtain between myself and himself, and the verse of Hzjâ b 'as revealed."
