Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I have agreed with my Lord in three matters. (First) Once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! If only we could take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer," upon which this verse was revealed: "Take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." (Second) Once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! Good and bad people both come to your pure wives; if you would command them to observe veiling, it would be better." Upon this, the verse of hijab was revealed. (Third) Once all the pure wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) united on a certain matter, I said to them, "If the Prophet (peace be upon him) divorces you, it may be that his Lord will give him wives better than you." The verse of the Noble Qur'an was revealed with these very words.
