It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), taking pride over the other noble wives, used to say that Allah married me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the heavens. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) served bread and meat at her wedding feast. Some people, after eating, remained seated in the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) got up and left. After waiting for a while, he returned, but the people were still sitting. This was very displeasing to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and its signs appeared on his blessed face. On this occasion, the verse of hijab was revealed.
