Sahih al-Bukhari 4792
Sulaiman bin Harb narrated to us that Hammad bin Zaid told us. He narrated from Ayyub (Sakhtiyani), Ayyub from Abu Qilabah, that Hazrat Anas bin Malik (ra) said: I know about this verse, that is, (about) the verse of the veil (Hijab), better than all people. When Hazrat Zainab (ra) was sent to the Messenger of Allah (saw) (at the time of the bride's departure), she was in the house with him. He had food prepared and invited the people. They (having eaten) remained sitting and talking. The Prophet (saw) would go out and then come back, but would see that they were sitting talking. Then Allah the Exalted revealed: “ya ayyuhal-ladhina amanu la tadkhulu buyutan-nabiyy… min wara'i hijab”, that is: “O ye who believe! enter not the houses of the Prophet (saw) unless leave is granted to you for a meal without waiting for its appointed time. But enter when you are invited, and when you have finished eating, disperse, without seeking to engage in talk. That causes inconvenience to the Prophet (saw), and he feels shy of asking you to leave. But Allah is not shy of saying what is true. And when you ask them (the wives of the Prophet (saw)) for anything, ask them from behind a curtain.” (Qur’an 33:54) So the curtain was let down and the people got up and left.
