حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ اطَّلَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جُحْرٍ فِي حُجْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ مِدْرًى يَحُكُّ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: " لَوْ أَعْلَمُكَ تَنْظُرُ (٢) لَطَعَنْتُ بِهِ، ، عَيْنَكَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الِاسْتِئْذَانُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ " (١)،

English translation

It is narrated from Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man began to peep through a hole into the blessed chamber of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). At that time, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) had a comb in his blessed hand, with which he was combing his hair. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If I had been sure that you were looking, I would have struck your eyes with this comb. The command for seeking permission has only been given because of the gaze."
