It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was peeping into one of the rooms of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) rose towards him with an arrowhead, or arrowheads, and went towards the man stealthily in order to stab him. Hajjaj said: "It is as though I am looking at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) creeping up on him in order to stab him."
