When Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw him. he said: If I were to know that you had been peeping through the door, I would have thrust that into your eyes, and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Permission is needed as a protection against glance.
Sahl b. Sa'd as-Sa'idi reported that a person peeped through the hole of the door of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he had with him some pointed thing with which he had been adjusting (the hair of his head). Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: If I were to know that you had been peeping. I would have thrust it in your eyes. Allah has prescribed seeking permission because of protection against glance.
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Sahl b. Sa'd as-Sa'idi with a slight variation of wording.
Anas b. Malik reported that a person peeped in some of the holes (in the doors) of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (and he found him) standing up (lifting) an arrow or some arrows. The narrator said: I perceived as if Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was going to pierce (his eyes).
Abu Huraira reported having heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: He who peeped into the house of people without their consent, it is permissible for them to put out his eyes.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: If a person were to cast a glance in your (house) without permission, and you had in your hand a staff and you would have thrust that in his eyes, there is no harm for you.
