This is Bahz's version of the hadith. He said, when Zaynab's waiting period had ended, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Zayd, "Go and propose to her on my behalf."Zayd said, "So I set out until I reached her while she was kneading her dough. When I saw her, she loomed so great in my heart, since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had mentioned her, that I could not bring myself to look at her. So I turned my back to her and stepped away on my heels, and I said, 'Zaynab, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has sent me to propose to you.'"She replied, "I will do nothing until I consult my Lord."Then she rose and went to her place of prayer, and the Quran was revealed, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and entered upon her without seeking permission.The narrator said, "I still remember how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fed us bread and meat when the day had grown long. The people left, but some men stayed behind in the house talking after the meal. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and I followed him. He went from one apartment of his wives to the next, greeting each of them, and they would say, 'Messenger of Allah, how did you find your wife?' I do not know whether it was I who told him that the men had left or he who told me. Then he walked on until he entered the house, and I went to enter with him, but he dropped the curtain between us, and the verse of the veil was revealed. And he admonished the people with what he was given to admonish them."Ibn Rafi added in his version, "Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you for a meal, without waiting for it to be prepared" [Ahzab 33:53], up to His words, "and Allah is not ashamed of the truth" [Ahzab 33:53].
حدثنا محمد بن حاتم بن ميمون حدثنا بهز ح و حدثني محمد بن رافع حدثنا أبو النضر هاشم بن القاسم قالا جميعا حدثنا سليمان بن المغيرة عن ثابت
وهذا حديث بهز قال لما انقضت عدة زينب قال رسول الله ﷺ لزيد فاذكرها علي قال فانطلق زيد حتى أتاها وهي تخمر عجينها قال فلما رأيتها عظمت في صدري حتى ما أستطيع أن أنظر إليها أن رسول الله ﷺ ذكرها فوليتها ظهري ونكصت على عقبي فقلت يا زينب أرسل رسول الله ﷺ يذكرك قالت ما أنا بصانعة شيئا حتى أوامر ربي فقامت إلى مسجدها ونزل القرآن وجاء رسول الله ﷺ فدخل عليها بغير إذن قال فقال ولقد رأيتنا أن رسول الله ﷺ أطعمنا الخبز واللحم حين امتد النهار فخرج الناس وبقي رجال يتحدثون في البيت بعد الطعام فخرج رسول الله ﷺ واتبعته فجعل يتتبع حجر نسائه يسلم عليهن ويقلن يا رسول الله كيف وجدت أهلك قال فما أدري أنا أخبرته أن القوم قد خرجوا أو أخبرني قال فانطلق حتى دخل البيت فذهبت أدخل معه فألقى الستر بيني وبينه ونزل الحجاب قال ووعظ القوم بما وعظوا به زاد ابن رافع في حديثه {لا تدخلوا بيوت النبي إلا أن يؤذن لكم إلى طعام غير ناظرين إناه} إلى قوله {والله لا يستحيي من الحق}
