It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the night when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed at the house of Hazrat Zainab bint Jahsh, the next morning I invited the Muslims to a wedding feast (walima) on behalf of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fed the Muslims plenty of bread and meat, then as usual he returned and went to the houses of the pure wives and greeted them, and they prayed for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he reached home, he saw that two men were engaged in conversation in a corner of the house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), seeing them, turned back and left. When those two saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turning back from his house, they quickly stood up and left. Now I do not remember whether I informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of their departure or someone else did. In any case, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned home and hung a curtain between me and himself, and the verse of hijab was revealed.
