The wives of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqi` at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night.
One night Sauda bint Zam`a the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) went out at `Isha' time and she was a tall lady.
Umar (l.a.) addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda!"
So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes).
Sahih Bukhari Book 4 Hadith 12
Umar (l.a.) beat up a slave-girl with his stick so badly that her head split open just because she was wearing a hejaab.
Umar (l.a.) got angry because she was a slave-girl while hejaab was only for free women!
Moreover, she was not even his slave-girl. He just recognized her and questioned her. It means he used to watch women very closely!!
