أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَانُوا إِذَا مَرُّوا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ طَأْطَأَ أَحَدُهُمْ ظَهْرَهُ وَ رَأْسَهُ هَكَذَا وَ غَطَّى رَأْسَهُ بِثَوْبِهِ لَا يَرَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَلا إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا مِنْهُ أَلا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ ما يُسِرُّونَ وَ ما يُعْلِنُونَ.
Translation
<a id="_Toc492473233">H 14563</a> – Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Sudeyr, who has narrated the following: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Ja’far</span><sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Jabir Bin Abdullah<sup>ar</sup> informed me<sup>asws</sup> that when the Polytheists used to pass by the Rasool Allah<sup>saww</sup>, they would incline their heads and cover their heads with their clothes so that the Rasool Allah<sup>saww</sup> would not see (recognise) them. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed: <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:11#h5"><a href="/books/quran:11#h5">[11:5]</a></a> Now surely they fold up their breasts that they may conceal (their enmity) from Him; now surely, when they use their garments as a covering, He knows what they conceal and what they make public”</span>.
