And the third interpretation:
14402 - Abu Sa'id al-Ashaj narrated to us, [saying]: Yahya ibn Yaman informed us, from Hammad ibn Salamah, from Umm Shabib, from 'Aishah, regarding: "And not expose their adornment except what is apparent of it," [she] said: The fatah (singular: fatah), which are silver rings worn on the toes.
14403 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, [saying]: Yahya ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to us, [who said]: Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to me, from 'Ata', from Ibn Jubayr, regarding the saying of Allah: "And not expose their adornment except what is apparent of it," [he] means: the face and the two hands. The adornment of the face is kohl, and the adornment of the hands is dye (khidab). It is not lawful for a stranger to see anything of her other than that.
His saying: "And let them strike."
14404 - Through him, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, regarding the saying of Allah: "And let them strike," [he] means: And let them draw [them] tight.
The saying of the Exalted: "With their head coverings over their chests."
14405 - Ibrahim ibn Malik narrated to us, [saying]: al-Hasan ibn al-Rabi' narrated to us, [who said]: Dawud ibn 'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Uthman, from Safiyyah bint Shaybah, from 'Aishah, who said: When [the verse] was revealed: "And let them strike with their head coverings over their chests," men of the Ansar went back to their women reciting it to them. Each woman among them stood up to her waist-wrapper (mirṭ), tore a piece from it, and covered her head with it. The next morning, it was as if crows were upon their heads.
14406 - My father narrated to us, [saying]: Ahmad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Yunus narrated to us, [who said]: al-Zanji ibn Khalid narrated to me, [who said]: 'Abd Allah ibn 'Uthman ibn Khuthaym narrated to me, from Safiyyah bint Shaybah, who said: While we were with 'Aishah, she mentioned the women of Quraysh and their virtue. 'Aishah said: "The women of Quraysh certainly have virtue, but by Allah, I have never seen better women than the women of the Ansar, nor any more strongly affirming of the Book of Allah or more believing in the revelation. When the Surah al-Nur was revealed: 'And let them strike with their head coverings over their chests,' their men went back to them, reciting to them what was revealed therein. Each man would recite to his wife, his daughter, his sister, and every relative of his. There was not a woman among them but that she stood up to her patterned waist-wrapper (mirṭ), and wrapped herself with it in affirmation and belief in what Allah had revealed from His Book. They awoke the next morning praying the dawn prayer behind the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wrapped [in their garments], as if crows were upon their heads."

وَالْوَجْهُ الثَّالِثُ:
١٤٤٠٢ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ، أنبأ يحي بْنُ يَمَانٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ شَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ: وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا قَالَ: الْفَتَخُ حِلَقٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ يَكُونُ فِي أَصَابِعِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ.
١٤٤٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا يحى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا يَعْنِى: الْوَجْهَ وَالْكَفَّيْنِ فَزِينَةُ الْوَجْهِ الْكُحْلُ، وَزِينَةُ الْكَفَّيْنِ الْخِضَابُ، وَلا يَحِلُّ أَنْ يَرَى مِنْهَا غَرِيبٌ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ.
قوله: وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ.
١٤٤٠٤ - بِهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ يَعْنِى: وَلْيَشْدُدْنَ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ.
١٤٤٠٥ - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ:
وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ انْقَلَبَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِلَى نِسَائِهِمْ يِتْلُونَهَا عليهن، فقامت كل مرأة مِنْهُنَّ إِلَى مِرْطِهَا فَصَدَعَتْ مِنْهُ صِدْعَةً فَاخْتَمَرْتُ بها فأصبحن من الصبح وكأن على رؤسهن الْغِرْبَانَ «١» .
١٤٤٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنِي الزَّنْجِيُّ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ قَالَتْ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: وَذَكَرَتْ نِسَاءَ قُرَيْشٍ وَفَضْلَهُنَّ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: إِنَّ لِنِسَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ لَفَضْلا، وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الأَنْصَارِ أَشَدَّ تَصْدِيقًا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ، وَلا إِيمَانًا بِالتَّنْزِيلِ لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةُ النُّورِ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ انْقَلَبَ رِجَالُهُنَّ إِلَيْهِنَّ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مَا أُنْزِلَ إليهن فيها، ويتلوا الرَّجُلُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ وَابْنَتِهِ وَأُخْتِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ، مَا مِنْهُنَّ امْرَأَةٌ إِلا قَامَتْ إِلَى مِرْطِهَا الْمُرَحَّلِ فَاعْتَجَرَتْ بِهِ تَصْدِيقًا وَإِيمَانًا بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ، فَأَصْبَحْنَ يُصَلِّينَ وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصبح معتجرات كأن على رؤسهن الغربان «٢» .
