Narrated Anas:A banquet of bread and meat was held on the occasion of the marriage of the Prophet (ﷺ) to Zainab bint Jahsh. I was sent to invite the people (to the banquet), and so the people started coming (in groups); They would eat and then leave. Another batch would come, eat and leave. So I kept on inviting the people till I found nobody to invite. Then I said, "O Allah's Prophet! I do not find anybody to invite." He said, "Carry away the remaining food." Then a batch of three persons stayed in the house chatting. The Prophet (ﷺ) left and went towards the dwelling place of Aisha and said, "Peace and Allah's Mercy be on you, O the people of the house!" She replied, "Peace and the mercy of Allah be on you too. How did you find your wife? May Allah bless you. Then he went to the dwelling places of all his other wives and said to them the same as he said to Aisha and they said to him the same as Aisha had said to him. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) returned and found a group of three persons still in the house chatting. The Prophet was a very shy person, so he went out (for the second time) and went towards the dwelling place of `Aisha. I do not remember whether I informed him that the people have gone away. So he returned and as soon as he entered the gate, he drew the curtain between me and him, and then the Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed

حدثنا ابو معمر، حدثنا عبد الوارث، حدثنا عبد العزيز بن صهيب، عن انس رضى الله عنه قال بني على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بزينب ابنة جحش بخبز ولحم فارسلت على الطعام داعيا فيجيء قوم فياكلون ويخرجون، ثم يجيء قوم فياكلون ويخرجون، فدعوت حتى ما اجد احدا ادعو فقلت يا نبي الله ما اجد احدا ادعوه قال ارفعوا طعامكم، وبقي ثلاثة رهط يتحدثون في البيت، فخرج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فانطلق الى حجرة عايشة فقال " السلام عليكم اهل البيت ورحمة الله ". فقالت وعليك السلام ورحمة الله، كيف وجدت اهلك بارك الله لك فتقرى حجر نسايه كلهن، يقول لهن كما يقول لعايشة، ويقلن له كما قالت عايشة، ثم رجع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فاذا ثلاثة رهط في البيت يتحدثون، وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم شديد الحياء، فخرج منطلقا نحو حجرة عايشة فما ادري اخبرته او اخبر ان القوم خرجوا، فرجع حتى اذا وضع رجله في اسكفة الباب داخلة واخرى خارجة ارخى الستر بيني وبينه، وانزلت اية الحجاب
