English translation

[5639] 41 - (...) Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sā'idī Al-Anṣārī narrated that a man looked through a crack in the door of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had a comb with which he was combing his hair. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: "If I had known that you were looking at me I would have poked you in the eye with it. Allāh has only enjoined seeking permission because of looking."

Arabic text

41 - (2156) وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا اطَّلَعَ مِنْ جُحْرٍ فِي بَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِدْرًى يُرَجِّلُ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَنْظُرُ، طَعَنْتُ بِهِ فِي عَيْنِكَ، إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ اللهُ الْإِذْنَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ»
