Praying Fajr and Modesty

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would say the Fajr prayer and the women would leave afterwards, wrapped up in their woolen garments so that they were unrecognizable due to the darkness.

'Aishah reported: The Messenger of Allah would say the Fajr prayer after which the women would depart wrapped up their woolen garments, being unrecognizable because of the darkness before dawn.
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ النِّسَاءُ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ مَا يُعْرَفْنَ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Aishah tells us about how the Prophet Muhammad used to pray the fajr prayer. After he finished praying, all of the women who attended his prayers would leave wrapped up in their woolen garments so that they were unrecognizable due to the darkness before dawn. This teaches us about two important values; firstly, it is important for Muslims to pray fajr on time as this was something that was done regularly by our beloved Prophet Muhammad. Secondly, it is also important for Muslim women to be modest and cover themselves properly when leaving a place of worship or any other public place. This hadith also shows us how much importance was placed on modesty even during a time when there were no strict laws regarding dress codes for women.
