حدثنا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، حدثنا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عَنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَأَخْبَرَهُ : أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَظَرْتَ إِلَيْهَا ؟ " ، قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَ : " فَاذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَإِنَّ فِي أَعْيُنِ الْأَنْصَارِ شَيْئًا " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: I was in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when there came a man and informed him that he had contracted to marry a woman of the Ansar. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Did you cast a glance at her? He said: No. He said: Go and cast a glance at her, for there is something in the eyes of the Ansar.
