I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Good and bad persons enter upon you, so I suggest that you order the
mothers of the Believers (i.e. your wives) to observe veils." Then Allah revealed the Verses of Al-
Hijab.

`Aisha said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to take the permission of that wife with whom he was supposed to
stay overnight if he wanted to go to one other than her, after this Verse was revealed:--
"You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives) and you may
receive any (of them) whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you
have set aside (temporarily). (33.51) I asked Aisha, "What did you use to say (in this case)?" She
said, "I used to say to him, "If I could deny you the permission (to go to your other wives) I would not
allow your favor to be bestowed on any other person."

When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married Zainab bint Jahsh, he invited the people to a meal. They took the meal
and remained sitting and talking. Then the Prophet (showed them) as if he is ready to get up, yet they
did not get up. When he noticed that (there was no response to his movement), he got up, and the
others too, got up except three persons who kept on sitting. The Prophet (ﷺ) came back in order to enter
his house, but he went away again. Then they left, whereupon I set out and went to the Prophet (ﷺ) to tell
him that they had departed, so he came and entered his house. I wanted to enter along with him, but he
put a screen between me and him. Then Allah revealed:
'O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet...' (33.53)
