Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 5647 — Once the Prophet ﷺ was in his apartment

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَنْدَهِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْكِسَائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عِيسَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ مَعَهُ مِدْرًى، يُسَرِّحُ بِهِ لِحْيَتَهُ، إِذْ جَاءَ إِنْسَانٌ فَاطَّلَعَ مِنْ جُحْرٍ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ، فَأَبْصَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: «لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَنْتَظِرُنِي، لَفَقَأْتُ بِهَذَا الْمِدْرَى عَيْنَكَ، إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِذْنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ» ، " أَبُو سَلَمَةَ هَذَا رَوَى عَنْهُ سُفْيَانُ هُوَ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ "
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in his apartment, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) had a comb with which he (peace and blessings be upon him) was combing his beard, when a man came and began peeping through a hole in his (peace and blessings be upon him) apartment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him and said: "Had I known that you were waiting for me, I would have thrust this comb into your eye. Seeking permission has only been prescribed because of the sight." (A note on the chain:) This Abu Salamah, from whom Sufyan narrates, is in fact Muhammad bin Abi Hafsah.
