حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَابِلْتِيُّ ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ
أَنَّ رَجُلًا اطَّلَعَ فِي جُحْرٍ فِي بَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَحُكُّ رَأْسَهُ بِمِدْرًى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَنْتَظِرُنِي لَطَعَنْتُ بِهِ فِي عَيْنِكَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الِاسْتِئْذَانُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ»

✧ A man looked through a hole in the door of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was scratching his head with a comb. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If I knew that you were waiting for me, I would poke it into your eye. Permission to enter was only made for the sake of sight.”
