كتاب الاستئذانBook of Asking Permission
بَابُ: الاسْتِئْذَانُ مِنْ أَجْلِ النَّظَرِChapter: Permission is for the sake of looking
Hadith 1070
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً اطَّلَعَ مِنْ جُحْرٍ فِي بَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِدْرًى يَحُكُّ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَنْتَظِرُنِي لَطَعَنْتُ بِهِ فِي عَيْنِكَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man looked into the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) through a hole in the door, while the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had a wooden comb in his hand with which he was scratching his head. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw him, he said: "If I had known that you were peeking at me from outside, I would have struck your eye with this comb."
