Chapter: Looking at a woman when wanting to marry her
Hadith 1864
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : خَطَبْتُ امْرَأَةً ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَخَبَّأُ لَهَا ، حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا فِي نَخْلٍ لَهَا ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : أَتَفْعَلُ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا أَلْقَى اللَّهُ فِي قَلْبِ امْرِئٍ خِطْبَةَ امْرَأَةٍ ، فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا " .
´It was narrated that:` Muhammad bin Salamah said: “I proposed marriage to a woman, then I hid and waited to see her until I saw her among some date palm trees that belonged to her.” It was said to him: “Do you do such a thing when you are a companion of the Messenger of Allah?” He said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: 'When Allah causes a man to propose to a woman, there is nothing wrong with him looking at her.' ”
