It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In three matters, my Lord agreed with my opinion, or my Lord made my opinion conform to His decision in three matters. I said: O Messenger of Allah! If you were to take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of prayer? So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: {وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاہِیمَ مُصَلًّی} … Take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of prayer. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Both righteous and wicked people come to your service, so if you were to have the Mothers of the Believers observe veiling, it would be better. After that, the verses regarding veiling were revealed. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I received some news regarding the Mothers of the Believers, so I went to each one and said: Stop making such demands from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), otherwise Allah Almighty will replace you with better Muslim women. When I made this request to one of the Mothers of the Believers, she said: Umar! Are the admonitions of the Messenger of Allah to his wives not sufficient that you have also started to admonish them in this matter? Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: {عَسٰی رَبُّہٓ اِنْ طَلَّقَکُنَّ اَنْ یُّبْدِلَہٓ اَزْوَاجًا خَیْرًا مِّنْکُنَّ مُسْلِمٰتٍ مُّؤْمِنٰتٍ قٰنِتٰتٍ تٰئِبٰتٍ عٰبِدٰتٍ سٰئِحٰتٍ ثَیِّبٰتٍ وَّاَبْکَارًا} … It may be, if he divorces you, that his Lord will give him in your place wives better than you—submissive, believing, devout, penitent, worshipping, fasting—previously married and virgins.
