حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا اطَّلَعَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ سِتْرِ حُجْرَةٍ (١) ، وَفِي يَدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِدْرًى فَقَالَ: " لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا يَنْظُرُنِي حَتَّى آتِيَهُ لَطَعَنْتُ بِالْمِدْرَى فِي عَيْنِهِ، وَهَلْ جُعِلَ الِاسْتِئْذَانُ إِلَّا مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ " (٢)،

English translation

It is narrated from Sahl bin Sa’d (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. Permission has been prescribed only because of the gaze.”
