Sahih al-Bukhari 6241
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ حَفِظْتُهُ كَمَا أَنَّكَ هَا هُنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ اطَّلَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جُحْرٍ فِي حُجَرِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِدْرًى يَحُكُّ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ " لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَنْظُرُ لَطَعَنْتُ بِهِ فِي عَيْنِكَ، إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الاِسْتِئْذَانُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ ".
Ali ibn Abdullah narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us. Al-Zuhri said: I remember it as clearly as I see you here, from Sahl ibn Sad, who said: A man peered through a hole into one of the Prophet’s rooms. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had an iron comb in his hand with which he was scratching his head. He said, ‘Had I known you were looking, I would have pierced your eye with it. Permission to enter was prescribed because of the gaze.’
