Yahya ibn Bishr narrated to us; he said: Qabisah narrated to us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Rabah, from Abu ‘Ubayd Allah, from Mujahid, who said: A man from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ met me and took me by the shoulder from behind. He said, “I love you.” I replied, “May the One for whose sake you love me love you.” He said, “Were it not that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘When a man loves another man, let him inform him that he loves him,’ I would not have told you.” Then he began proposing marriage to me, saying, “We have a young woman; indeed, she has a defect in one eye.”
