357. Thawbān narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not allowed for a man to look into the interior of a man's house until he has been given permission, for if he looks, then he has entered. And one who leads people (in Ṣalāt) should not supplicate for himself alone with the exclusion of his congregation. If he does, then he has betrayed them. And one is not to stand for Ṣalāt while he has to urinate." (Hasan)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah and Abū Umāmah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Thawbān is a Hasan Hadīth.
This Hadīth was reported from Mu'āwiyah bin Ṣāliḥ, from As-Safr bin Nusair, from Yazīd bin Shurāih, from Abū Umāmah from the Prophet ﷺ.
And this Hadīth was reported from Yazīd bin Shurāih, from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
It is as if the narration of Yazīd
bin Shuraiḥ from Abū Ḥayy Al-Mu'adh-dhin, from Thawbān (a narrator in the chain of this Ḥadīth) is the best and most popular chain for this.

Commentary
1. This Ḥadīth instructs that to peep into someone's house without permission is unlawful. The purpose of seeking permission is not to look at the household suddenly, if one has already taken a peep then what is the need of seeking permission; as if he entered without the permission, which is unlawful.
2. 'Should not supplicate for himself alone' may also mean that if he is requested to make a supplication, he should do so for all, not only for himself; for the supplication reported from the Prophet ﷺ will be read as reported, and no change will be made in these supplications by anyone.
