Ahadith About Niq b The hadith (Arabic plural:ah d th) are narrations supposedly originating from the words

and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. They are traditions and are therefore not quotes from the Qur'an. As with all traditions, it cannot be definitively proved that they are accurate representations of the time. The Arabic word jilb b is used in the following traditions: * Narrated Aisha (part of a much longer narration): "...When he reached my place in the morning, he saw the figure of a sleeping person and he recognized me on seeing me as he had seen me before the order of compulsory veiling (was prescribed). So I woke up when he recited Istirja' (i.e. "Inna lillahi wa inna llaihi raji'un") as soon as he recognized me. I veiled my face with my head cover at once, and by Allah, we did not speak a single word, and I did not hear him saying any word besides his Istirja'. (Volume: 5, Book Number: 59, Hadith Number: 462) * Narrated Aisha: The woman is to bring down her Jilb b from over her head and [then place it] upon her face. {Bukhari:6:60:282}, {Sunnan Abu Dawud 32:4091} * Narrated Aisha: The riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of Allaah in ihr m When they came near, each of us would lower her Jilb b from her head over her face, and when they passed by we would uncover our faces. Sunnan Abu Dawud 1:1833 * Narrated Aisha: Safwaan ibn al-Mu attal al-Sulami al Dhakwaani was lagging behind the army. She said, He came to where I had stopped and saw the black shape of a person sleeping. He recognized me when he saw me, because he had seen me before Hij b was enjoined. I woke up when I heard him saying Inna Lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji oon (verily to Allaah we belong and unto Him is our return), and I covered my face with my Jilb b Sahih Muslim 2:2770 * Narrated Aasim al-Ahwal: We used to enter upon Hafsah bint Sir n who had put her Jilb b thus and covered her face with it, and we would say to her: May Allah have mercy on you. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): And as for women past childbearing who do not expect wedlock, it is no sin on them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show their adornment [alNoor 24:60]. And she would say to us: What comes after that (of the yah)? We would say: But to refrain (i.e. not to discard their outer clothing) is better for them . And so she said: [Referring to, But to refrain is better for them ], It is to keep the Jilb b. Sahih al-Bukhari 3:311:1 * Narrated Ibn Abb s: Allah commanded the believing women, when going out of their homes for some need, to cover their faces from above their heads with their Jilb bs, leaving one eye(or both) to see the path.[22] * From Asm bint Abi Bakr, that she said, We are used to cover our faces from the men, and cut our hair before that in Ihr m (for Hajj).[23] * From Asm bint Abi Bakr, We would cover our faces while we were Muhrim, and while doing that we would be with Asm bint Abi Bakr As-Siddeeq.[24] * From Ibn Abi Khaythamah, We entered upon Umm Al-Mu min n on Yawm At-Tarwayah and we said to

her, Oh Mother of the Believers! Here is a woman who refuses to cover her face and she is a Muhrimah (in ihr m). So Aa ishah lifted her Khim r from her chest, and covered the woman s face with it.[25] * Narrated Aisha: "When (the Verse): "They should draw their veils over their Juyubihinna," was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces. Sahih al-Bukhari 60:282:1 * Narrated 'Aisha: The Apostle of Allah used to offer the Fajr prayer and some believing women covered with their veiling sheets used to attend the Fajr prayer with him and then they would return to their homes unrecognized Sahih al-Bukhari 8:368:1 * Narrated Um 'Atiya: We were ordered the Apostle of Allah to bring out our menstruating women and veiled women in the religious gatherings and invocation of Muslims on the two 'Eid festivals. These menstruating women were to keep away from their Musalla. A woman asked, "O Allah's Apostle ' What about one who does not have a niqab?" He said, "Let her share the veil of her companion." Sahih alBukhari 8:347:1 * From Anas that the Messenger of Allah said: And if one of the women of Paradise looked at the earth, she would fill the whole space between them the earth and the heaven with light, and would fill whatever is in between them, with perfume, and the veil of her face is better than the whole world and whatever is in it."Sahih al-Bukhari 8:572:1 * Narrated Thabit ibn Qays : A woman called Umm Khallad came to the Prophet while she was veiled. She was searching for her son who had been killed in the battle. Some of the Companions of the Prophet said to her: You have come here asking for your son while veiling your face? She said: If I am afflicted with the loss of my son, I shall not suffer the loss of my modesty. The Apostle of Allah said: You will get the reward of two martyrs for your son. She asked: Why is that so, oh Prophet of Allah? He replied: Because the people of the Book have killed him."Sahih al-Bukhari 14:2482:1 * All of a woman is awrah. Whenever she leaves her home Satan reachs by her."Sunnan Abu Dawud 2:311 * A woman called Umm Khallad came to the Prophet hile she was veiled. She was searching for her son who had been killed in the battle. Some of the Companions of the Prophet said to her: You have come here asking for your son while veiling your face? She said: If I am afflicted with the loss of my son, I shall not suffer the loss of my modesty. The Apostle of Allah said: You will get the reward of two martyrs for your son. She asked: Why is that so, Apostle of Allah? He replied: Because the people of the Book have killed him. (Book Number: 14, Hadith Number: 2482) If she was wrong in her understanding, Muhammad would have corrected her.
