قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {وَقُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ} [النور: 31] الْآيَةَ.
Allah Almighty says: "And tell the believing women to lower their gazes and guard their private parts." [Surah al-Nur: 31] (to the end of the verse)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دُرُسْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أنبأ نَافِعُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ نَبْهَانَ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا وَمَيْمُونَةُ جَالِسَتَانِ، فَجَلَسَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ الْأَعْمَى، فَقَالَ: " ⦗١٤٨⦘ احْتَجِبَا مِنْهُ "، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَيْسَ بِأَعْمَى لَا يُبْصِرُنَا؟ قَالَ: " فَأَنْتُمَا لَا تُبْصِرَانِهِ؟ ".
Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), where Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) and I were sitting. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), who was blind, asked permission (to enter), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Both of you, screen yourselves from him." We said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Is he not blind? He cannot even see us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you two not seeing him?"
