Hadith 1393
1393 صحيح حديث سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً اطَّلَعَ فِي جُحْرٍ فِي بَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِدْرًى يَحُكُّ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنْ تَنْتَظِرَنِي لَطَعَنْتُ بِهِ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِذْنُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْبَصَرِ
Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d al-Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man began to peep through a hole in the door of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace and blessings be upon him) house. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had an iron comb with which he was combing his hair. When he saw the man, he said, “If I had known that you were peeping while waiting for me, I would have poked this into your eye.” Then he said, “The command to seek permission (before entering the house) has been given for this very reason, so that one’s gaze does not fall (inside without permission).”
Hadith 1394
1394 صحيح حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً اطَّلَعَ مِنْ بَعْضِ حُجَرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِمِشْقَصٍ، أَوْ بِمَشَاقِصَ، فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ يَخْتِلُ الرَّجُلَ لِيَطعُنَهُ
Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a person began to peep into one of the rooms of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) advanced towards him with the tip of an arrow or with several arrow tips, as if I am seeing the Prophet (peace be upon him) approaching that person quietly in such a way, as if he would prick him with those arrow tips.
Hadith 1395
1395 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ: لَوِ اطَّلَعَ فِي بَيْتِكَ أَحَدٌ وَلَمْ تَأذَنْ لَهُ، خَذَفْتَهُ بِحَصَاةٍ فَفَقَأتَ عَيْنَهُ، مَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ جُنَاحِ
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a person is peeping into your house (through a hole or a lattice, etc.) without your permission and you throw a pebble at him which causes his eye to be gouged out, then there is no punishment upon you.
