Surah 24:An-Nur, Verse 30 Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.
And Surah 24:An-Nur, Verse31 And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily-Eye,bangles,bracelets etc) appear thereof; that they should draw their *veils *over their *bosoms* and not display their beauty except to their husbands their fathers their husbands’ fathers their sons their husbands’ sons their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons or their women or the slaves whom their right hands possess or male servants free of physical needs or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah that ye may attain Bliss.
Now taking selective part of the verse which is needed for explanation:
And Say to the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (Eyes,bangles,bracelets etc), and to draw their *veils* all over Juyubihinna (bosoms) …………………
The Arabic text is, “Wa qul li al-muminat yaghdudna min absarihinna wa yahfazna furujahunna wa laa yubdina zenatahunna illa maa zahara min haa wal-yadribna bi *khumurihinna* alaa “*juyub hinna*”.
This is translated as, “And say to the faithful women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their adornment except what is apparent of it, and to extend[draw] their khumur to cover their juyub”. First, the word “khumur”plural of khimar.
In this verse Allah subhanawatala mentions khimaar for the first time,before this verse when surah Ahzab’s verse was revealed with hijab commandment,Jalabeeb[jilbab] is the word mentioned.Jalabeeb (plural of Jalbaab), a loose outer garment that covers all a woman’s body.
Though Jalabeeb fulfills the criteria of veiling yet in surah Nur [24] further clarification is explained.
Because women wore long outer garment[jalabeeb] along with khimaar[head scarf].Even though khimar was’nt mentioned in surah Ahzab’s verse.Their khimar didnt covered bosom so Allah commanded them to extend khimar to bosom,while doing so it has to be pulled from the head ,which will fall of face,then neck then bosom.And jalabeb falls on rest of the body from sholders to feet.
Hence a complete covering including face[excluding eyes].Prophets wives were commanded first to cover completely,they always used khimar till the end of their lives,and it always covered their faces along with bodies.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1829 Narrated byAisha, Ummul Mu’minin
Riders would pass us when we accompanied the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) while we were in the sacred state (wearing ihram). When they came by us, one of us would let down her outer garment[Jilbab] from her head over her face, and when they had passed on, we would uncover our faces.
*Note:While one cannot deny the support of Hadith that indicate that the Prophet’s wives wore khimar, one must realize that they also covered their faces at all times in the presence of non-mahram men. Here in the state of Ihram they cover temporarily with Jilbab,in normal circumstanes they used khimaar to cover faces,neck,bosom as taught in suran nur 24 verse 31.This is a proof that believeing women also followed suit.
Another clarification:The word “juyub”. This is the plural of the word “jayb”, which means “bosom”. The word is used in Arabic to refer to the breastpocket of a shirt.
For cross reference see Surah al-Qasas ayah 32 describes Moses as putting his hand in his “jayb”, and this means his breast, not his “body, face, neck and bosom” so “juyub” cannot be translated as such as such but bosom only.
Allah knows best.

Ameen,Thumameen.

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2482 Narrated by AbuHurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him)
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say, " O Allah, grant me benefit in what Thou hast taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from the state of those who go to Hell."
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition whose isnad is gharib.
