Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ - عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ خَطَبَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَلْ نَظَرْتَ إِلَيْهَا " . قَالَ لاَ . فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا .
Translation
Abd al-Rahman ibn Ibrahim reported to us; he said: Marwan narrated to us; he said: Yazid—namely, Ibn Kaysan—narrated to us, from Abu Hazim, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: A man proposed to a woman from the Ansar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked him: ‘Have you looked at her?’ He said, ‘No.’ So he instructed him to look at her.
