It was narrated from Talhah that Huzail said: "A man" - 'Uthmān (one of the narrators) said: "Sa'd - came, and stood at the door of the Prophet ﷺ, and asked for permission to enter, and he stood at the door" - 'Uthmān said: "facing the door - the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Stand) like this, or like this (meaning, at one side or other of the door), for seeking permission is enjoined only to prevent looking.'"

5174 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ هُزَيْلٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ، - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ -: سَعْدٌ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَى بَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ، فَقَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْبَابِ - فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَكَذَا - عَنْكَ - أَوْ هَكَذَا، فَإِنَّمَا الِاسْتِئْذَانُ مِنَ النَّظَرِ»
