حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتْ،

Translation

Aishah reported: The believing women used to attend the Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, wrapped in their woollen sheets. Then they would return to their homes when they had finished the prayer, and no one would recognize them because of the (early) darkness.

Aischa berichtete: Die gläubigen Frauen pflegten mit dem Gesandten Allahs ﷺ am Morgengebet teilzunehmen, eingehüllt in ihre Wolltücher. Dann kehrten sie in ihre Häuser zurück, wenn sie das Gebet beendet hatten, und niemand erkannte sie wegen der (frühen) Dunkelheit.
