It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: In the days of ignorance a woman would circumambulate the House while naked, with (only) a rag tied over her private parts, and she would say (this verse of poetry): "Today some of it or all of it will show, / and whatever shows of it, I do not make lawful (to anyone)." Then this verse was revealed: "Say: Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah" [Surah al-A'raf: 32] . This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim).
