Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ دَعَوْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى وَلِيمَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَبِيحَةَ بَنَى بِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ فَأَشْبَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خُبْزًا وَلَحْمًا قَالَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ كَمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فَأَتَى حُجَرَ نِسَائِهِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَدَعَوْنَ لَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَإِذَا رَجُلَانِ قَدْ جَرَى بَيْنَهُمَا الْحَدِيثُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا بَصَرَ بِهِمَا وَلَّى رَاجِعًا فَلَمَّا رَأَى الرَّجُلَانِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ وَلَّى عَنْ بَيْتِهِ قَامَا مُسْرِعَيْنِ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَوْ أُخْبِرَ بِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ وَأُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ.
English Translation
Ibn Abi Adiyy narrated to us from Humayd, from Anas, who said: I invited the Muslims to the wedding feast of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the morning after he consummated his marriage with Zaynab bint Jahsh, and he satisfied the Muslims with bread and meat. He said: Then he returned as he used to do, and went to the chambers of his wives and greeted them, and they prayed for him. He said: Then he returned to his house, and I was with him. When he reached the house, there were two men engaged in conversation in a corner of the house. When he noticed them, he turned back. When the two men saw that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had turned away from his house, they got up quickly. I do not know whether I informed him or he was informed. Then he returned to his home and let down the curtain between me and him, and the verse of the veil was revealed.
