And Ahmad bin Shabeeb narrated, he said: My father Shabeeb bin Saeed narrated to us, from Yunus bin Yazid, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwah, and from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: May Allah have mercy on the early emigrant women. When Allah the Exalted revealed the verse «وليضربن بخمرهن على جيوبهن‏» "and let them draw their veils over their bosoms" (so that the chest and neck, etc. are not visible), they tore their sheets and made veils out of them.

Narrated Safiya bint Shaiba: `Aisha used to say: "When (the Verse): "They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms," was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces."
