حَدِيثُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ١٧٩٧٦ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ غُنْدَرٌ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، - قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ: سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ - قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ يُطَارِدُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا، - قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ: ُثبَيتَة (١) ابْنَةَ الضَّحَّاكِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا -، فَقُلْتُ: أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَفْعَلُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا أَلْقَى اللهُ فِي قَلْبِ امْرِئٍ خِطْبَةَ امْرَأَةٍ، فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I saw Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) looking at a woman. I said to him, "You are a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), yet you are looking at a non-mahram woman?" He replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say that if Allah puts the thought of sending a marriage proposal to a woman in a person's heart, then there is no harm in looking at her." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
