Bayhaqi 13497 — Restricting permissible looking at her to the face

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، يُخْبِرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَظُنُّهُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعِنْدَهَا أُخْتُهَا أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعَلَيْهَا ثِيَابٌ شَامِيَّةٌ وَاسِعَةُ الْأَكْمَامِ، فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ فَخَرَجَ، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا تَنَحَّيْ فَقَدْ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْرًا كَرِهَهُ، فَتَنَحَّتْ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا لِمَ قَامَ؟ قَالَ: " أَوَلَمْ تَرَيْ إِلَى هَيْئَتِهَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الْمُسْلِمَةِ أَنْ يَبْدُوَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا هَذَا وَهَذَا " وَأَخَذَ بِكَفَّيْهِ، فَغَطَّى بِهِمَا ظَهْرَ كَفَّيْهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْدُ مِنْ كَفِّهِ إِلَّا أَصَابِعُهُ، ثُمَّ نَصَبَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى صُدْغَيْهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْدُ إِلَّا وَجْهُهُ "، إِسْنَادُهُ ضَعِيفٌ.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Aishah bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her), and with her was her sister Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her). She was wearing Syrian clothes with very wide sleeves. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at her, he stood up and went out. Then Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Asma (may Allah be pleased with her): "Move aside; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has seen something that he disliked." So she moved aside. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came in, and Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: "Why did you leave?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you not see her state? It is not fitting for a Muslim woman that any part of her be visible except this." He (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of his palm and covered its back until nothing of the hand showed except the fingers; then he placed his palms on his temples until only his face showed.
Its chain is weak.
