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 ‏"‏.

Narrator: Sahl bin Sa`d

English translation
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: A man peeped through a round hole into the dwelling place of the Prophet, while the Prophet (ﷺ) had a Midray (an iron comb) with which he was scratching his head. the Prophet (ﷺ) said, " Had known you were looking (through the hole), I would have pierced your eye with it (i.e., the comb)." Verily! The order of taking permission to enter has been enjoined because of that sight, (that one should not look unlawfully at the state of others). (See Hadith No. 807, Vol)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
সাহল ইবনু সা‘দ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেনঃ একবার এক লোক নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর কোন এক হুজরায় উঁকি দিয়ে তাকালো। তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর কাছে একটা ‘মিদরা’ ছিল, যা দিয়ে তিনি তাঁর মাথা চুলকাচ্ছিলেন। তখন তিনি বললেনঃ যদি আমি জানতাম যে, তুমি উঁকি দিবে, তবে এ দিয়ে তোমার চোখ ফুঁড়ে দিতাম। তাকানোর জন্য অনুমতি গ্রহণের বিধান দেয়া হয়েছে। [৫৯২৪] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৫৭৯৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
