English translation
4863. It was narrated from Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sâ'idî that a man looked through a hole in the door of the Prophet ﷺ, who had with him a kind of comb with which he was scratching his head. When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saw him he said: "If I had known that you were watching me, I would have stabbed you in the eye with this. The rule of asking permission has been ordained so that one may not look unlawfully (into people's houses)." (Sahîh)
