If some of our sisters are still interested in trying to resemble the Sahabiyates. Then I will describe to you what I saw in 2009 when I was in Yemen. We were in one of the marakiz known at the time in this country. We almost never came across women in the streets but once I found myself behind a group of women who were just leaving the mosque.
Nothing could be seen, they wore very long black veils and were hugging the walls in single file, they did not occupy the middle of the path. They certainly heard a noise behind them and then they all stuck to the wall and stayed like that until
what we had gone through. In all my life I had never seen such a display of modesty.
I was almost shocked by it and when I told some people
people who had been settled in this place for some time, They told me that the women here behaved like this, that in addition to only going out to go to the mosque or when there was a real need, when they were forced to go out, they hugged the walls and
systematically stood on the sides of roads or paths and if they heard noise behind them, then they would stop and stick to the walls to let people pass so that they would not be walking with people behind them.
Their veils were not at all aesthetic, it was as if they had simply pulled long fabrics over them, not the slightest aesthetic, not the slightest sign of adornment, nothing.
That day I had the impression that I had never encountered any sahabiyaat anywhere...
