يا ايها النبي قل لازواجك وبناتك ونساء المؤمنين يدنين عليهن من جلابيبهن ذلك ادنى ان يعرفن فلا يؤذين وكان الله غفورا رحيما

O Prophet! Tell Thy wives and daughters, And the believing women, That they should cast Their outer garments over Their persons (when abroad): That is most convenient, That they should be known (As such) and not molested. And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
