A man peeped into the Prophet's ﷺ room through a gap in the curtain of his chamber while the Prophet ﷺ held a comb in his hand. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Had I known you were watching me before I came upon you, I would have thrust this comb into your eye. Permission to enter was prescribed only because of the gaze."
حدثنا عبد الرزاق حدثنا معمر عن الزهري
أن رجلا اطلع على النبي ﷺ من ستر حجرته وفي يد النبي ﷺ مدرى فقال لو أعلم أن هذا ينظرني حتى آتيه لطعنت بالمدرى في عينه وهل جعل الاستئذان إلا من أجل البصر
