Sahih Muslim Book - 39, Hadith - 5668

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : خَرَجَتْ سَوْدَةُ بَعْدَ مَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْهَا الْحِجَابُ لِتَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهَا ، وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً جَسِيمَةً تَفْرَعُ النِّسَاءَ جِسْمًا ، لاَ تَخْفَى عَلَى مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا ، فَرَآهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا سَوْدَةُ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا تَخْفَيْنَ عَلَيْنَا ، فَانْظُرِي كَيْفَ تَخْرُجِينَ ، قَالَتْ : فَانْكَفَأَتْ رَاجِعَةً وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِي ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَتَعَشَّى وَفِي يَدِهِ عَرْقٌ ، فَدَخَلَتْ فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ ، فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ : كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَتْ : فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ رُفِعَ عَنْهُ , وَإِنَّ الْعَرْقَ فِي يَدِهِ مَا وَضَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُذِنَ لَكُنَّ أَنْ تَخْرُجْنَ لِحَاجَتِكُنَّ. وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ : يَفْرَعُ النِّسَاءَ جِسْمُهَا ، زَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : فَقَالَ هِشَامٌ , يَعْنِي الْبَرَازَ.

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “Sawdah went out, after Hijab had been enjoyed upon us, to relive herself. She was a large woman, and she was recognizable to anymore who knew her. ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said: ‘O Sawdah, by Allah you cannot hide from us. Be careful when you go out.’ So She turned back. The messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was in my house, eating dinner, and he had a bone with meat on it in his hand. She came in and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I went out and ‘Umar said such-and-such to me.’ Then the Revelation of Allah came upon him, then it ceased, and the bone was still in his hand; he had not put it down. He said: ‘Permission is given to you to go out for your needs.”’
