He also transmitted—through a chain going back to ʿUqbah ibn al-Aṣamm, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ, from ʿĀʾishah (Allah be pleased with her)—that she said regarding the words, “what may ordinarily appear of it”: “the face and the two hands.”

However, ʿUqbah ibn al-Aṣamm is weak.

Al-Bayhaqī then added: “We have likewise narrated from Ibn ʿUmar that he said, ‘The visible adornment is the face and the two hands.’ We have reported the same understanding from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ and Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, and it is also the view of al-Awzāʿī.”

Ibn Ḥazm said:
“We have transmitted from Ibn ʿAbbās concerning ‘and they should not reveal their adornment except what is apparent of it’ that he defined it as the hand, the ring, and the face; from Ibn ʿUmar as the face and the two hands; and from Anas as the hand and the ring. All of this is of the highest authenticity from them, and the same has likewise been related from ʿĀʾishah and other Successors.”

Al-Bayhaqī next recorded the hadith of ʿĀʾishah, traced back to the Prophet ﷺ:
“When a woman reaches puberty, nothing should be seen of her except this and this,” and he pointed to his face and hands.

Al-Bayhaqī commented: “Together with this mursal report we have the statements of the early Companions—may Allah be pleased with them—clarifying what Allah has allowed of outward adornment; thus the case for this opinion is strong.” And Allah knows best.
