حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ وَأَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَالِکٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَائِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ کَانَتْ امْرَأَةٌ تُصَلِّي خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَسْنَائُ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ فَکَانَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَسْتَقْدِمُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ لِئَلَّا يَرَاهَا وَيَسْتَأْخِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ حَتَّی يَکُونَ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ فَإِذَا رَکَعَ قَالَ هَکَذَا يَنْظُرُ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنْکُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ فِي شَأْنِهَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1046
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "A woman used to perform prayer behind the Prophet P.B.U.H and she was one of the most beautiful of people. Some of the people used to go into the first row so that they Would not see her, and some of them used to lag behind so that they would be in the last row, and when they bowed, they Would do like this so that they could see her from beneath their armpits. Then Allah revealed: "And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards. concerning her matter. (Da'if)
