Was the story of the Ansari and his wife, when they extinguished the lamp and ate with the guest, before the verses of hijab were revealed?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In the story of the guest who was hosted by the Ansari, when the woman extinguished the lamp and he ate with the guest, was this before the revelation of the hijab?

Answer:
He ate with the guest. He extinguished the lamp in order to make the guest think that they were eating. He extinguished the lamp, and there is no mention of the hijab in it. Does a woman not eat while wearing the hijab? A woman eats while wearing the hijab. There is no contradiction between eating and the hijab. Yes.
