Q
What was the context and outcome of the revelation regarding the veiling of women in Islam?


A

My Lord agreed with me in three things:
-1. I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of
our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place
of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two rak`at of Tawaf of Ka`ba)”. (2.125)
-2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish you
ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.’ So the
verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.
-3. Once the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) made a united front against the Prophet (ﷺ) and I said to them, ‘It may
be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives
better than you.’ So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed.” (66.5).
