Sahih al-Bukhari 578 (Book 9, Hadith 54) #557
Attending Fajr Prayer in Discretion

SUMMARY: Women used to attend the Fajr prayer with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and return home without being recognized due to darkness.

Narrated 'Aisha: The believing women covered with their veiling sheets used to attend the Fajr prayer with Allah's Apostle, and after finishing the prayer they would return to their home and nobody could recognize them because of darkness.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتْ، كُنَّ نِسَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَشْهَدْنَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلاَةَ الْفَجْرِ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يَنْقَلِبْنَ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِنَّ حِينَ يَقْضِينَ الصَّلاَةَ، لاَ يَعْرِفُهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of attending the Fajr prayer for believing women. It is narrated by Aisha that women used to attend this prayer with Prophet Muhammad and return home without being recognized due to darkness. This shows that they were careful about their modesty and did not want anyone else to recognize them while they were going out for prayers. The hadith also teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions even when no one is watching us as Allah is always watching over us. We should strive to do good deeds even if no one else knows about it as it will be rewarded by Allah in both this world and hereafter.
