Hadith 32:773
Hajjaj ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Layth—meaning Ibn Sa'd—narrated to us, he said: 'Uqayl narrated to me, from Ibn Shihab, he said: Anas ibn Malik al-Ansari narrated to me, that he was ten years old when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived in Medina. He said: "My mothers used to urge me to serve the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so I was the most knowledgeable of people regarding the matter of the Hijab when it was revealed. The first time it was revealed was when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) consummated his marriage with Zaynab bint Jahsh. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) woke up as a bridegroom with her, so he invited the people, and they partook of the food, then they left. A group of them remained with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and they prolonged their stay. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up and went out, and I went out with him so that they might leave. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) walked, and we walked with him until he reached the threshold of 'Aisha's chamber. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) thought that they had left, so he returned, and I returned with him. Behold, they had left. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) drew a curtain between himself and them, and Allah the Almighty revealed: 'The Hijab'."
حدثنا حجاج بن محمد، حدثنا ليث يعني ابن سعد، قال: حدثني عقيل، عن ابن شهاب، قال: حدثني أنس بن مالك الأنصاري، أنه كان ابن عشر سنين مقدم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم المدينة، قال: وكان أمهاتي يوطئنني على خدمة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فكنت أعلم الناس بشأن الحجاب حين أنزل، وكان أول ما أنزل ابتنى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بزينب بنت جحش، أصبح رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بها عروسا فدعا القوم، فأصابوا من الطعام ثم خرجوا، وبقي رهط منهم عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأطالوا المكث، فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فخرج وخرجت معه لكي يخرجوا، فمشى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ومشينا معه حتى جاء عتبة حجرة عائشة، وظن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنهم قد خرجوا، فرجع ورجعت معه، فإذا هم قد خرجوا، فضرب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بينه وبينهم بستر، وأنزل الله عز وجل: الحجاب "
