It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, "And let them not display their adornment," that he said: (The forbidden adornment meant here is) anklets, ear-pendants, earrings and necklaces, which are not (to be displayed); "except what appears of it" [Surah al-Nur: 31] , that is, except that which becomes apparent by itself, refers to clothing (that is, the outer sheet). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that when this verse was revealed: "And let them draw their head-coverings over their bosoms" [Surah al-Nur: 31] , the women of the Ansar took their waist-wrappers, tore them along the edges and made head-coverings out of them. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, "And give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you" [Surah al-Nur: 33] : "A quarter (of the agreed sum) should be left for the mukatab (a slave who has made a contract to buy his freedom)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Abdullah bin Habib is Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, and in another narration he has made this saying mawquf (stopping) at Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
