Narrated Anas: The Prophet stayed for three rights between Khaibar and — Hijab

"Narrated Aisha, Ummul Muminin: A mukhannath (eunuch) used to enter upon the wives of Prophet (peace be upon him). They (the people) counted him among those who were free of physical needs. One day the Prophet (peace be upon him) entered upon us when he was with one of his wives, and was describing the qualities of a woman, saying: When she comes forward, she comes forward with four (folds in her stomach), and when she goes backward, she goes backward with eight (folds in her stomach). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Do I not see that this (man) knows what here lies. Then they (the wives) observed veil from him."

"Yahya related to me from Malik from Alqama ibn Abi Alqama that his mother said, "Hafsa bint Abd ar-Rahman visited Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Hafsa was wearing a long thin head scarf. Aisha tore it in two and made a thick one for her."

"The veil is not always a form of self-suppression; often it is an alternative, more modest, style of beauty, even a symbol of seduction rather than seclusion."

"To the Muslim woman, the hijab provides a sense of empowerment. It is a personal decision to dress modestly according to the command of a genderless Creator; to assert pride in self, and embrace ones faith openly, with independence and courageous conviction."

"The correct view is that a woman is obliged to cover her entire body, even the face and hands. The face is the most tempting part of a womans body, because what people look at most is the face, so the face is the greatest ‘awrah of a woman."

"To me, the hijab means power, liberation, beauty, and resistance."
