Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) went out to answer the call of nature after it was made obligatory (for
all the Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She had a large frame and everybody who knew her
before could recognize her. So `Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said, "O Sauda! By Allah, you
cannot hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be recognized on going out.
Sauda returned while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with
meat was in his hand. She entered and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I went out to answer the call of nature
and `Umar said to me so-and-so." Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet) and when the state of
inspiration was over and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put in down, he said (to Sauda),

The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqi` at Medina) to answer
the call of nature at night. `Umar used to say to the Prophet (ﷺ) "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's
Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam`a the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) went out at `Isha' time and
she was a tall lady. `Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he
desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be
revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes). - Hadith Al Bukhari 146 (islam)

During his caliphate, Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was known for his strength in religion and justice among the subjects while guiding them in matters of their religion and worldliness. In this hadith, Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: “Umar saw a slave,” i.e: Umar bin al-Khattab saw a slave girl, “with a jilbab,” i.e., a garment on her head with which she was veiled and masked, and this veil was reserved for free women because of what they were exposed to from the debaucheries of the city when they went out to relieve their needs, so God Almighty distinguished them by the veil, “and he said, 'Are you free? “Are you free?”, i.e.: She said, “No.” He said, “Put it off your head,” i.e., take it off your head. “The robes are for the free women,” i.e., it was imposed on them to distinguish the free women from the handmaids, “and she stammered,” i.e: She delayed in obeying his order, so he took the shield (a small stick he held in his hand) and struck her head until she dropped it, i.e: So that she would not be in the form of the free women, and so that the free women would not be attributed to the free women in terms of dressing up and walking; because the handmaids are devoted to serving their masters, so they often go out and walk around.
