النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ طَهْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : "
نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ فِي زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ ، وَأَطْعَمَ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ خُبْزًا وَلَحْمًا ، وَكَانَتْ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْكَحَنِي فِي السَّمَاءِ
