Sahih Muslim 2156a (Book 38, Hadith 53) #12731
The Importance of Seeking Permission

SUMMARY: It is important to seek permission before entering a place, as it is a form of protection against unwanted glances.

Sahl b. Sa'd as-Sa'id reported that a person peeped through the hole of the door of Allah's Messenger , and at that time Allah's Messenger had with him a scratching instrument with which he had been scratching his head. When Allah's Messenger 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 said: Permission is needed as a protection against glance.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى - ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً اطَّلَعَ فِي جُحْرٍ فِي بَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَمَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِدْرًى يَحُكُّ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَنْظُرُنِي لَطَعَنْتُ بِهِ فِي عَيْنِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِذْنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of seeking permission before entering a place. It was narrated by Sahl b. Sa'd as-Sa'id that someone peeped through the door of Prophet Muhammad's house and saw him with a scratching instrument in his hand, scratching his head. When Prophet Muhammad noticed this person, he said that if he had known earlier that the person was peeping through the door, he would have thrust it into his eyes. He then went on to explain that seeking permission is necessary for protection against unwanted glances or stares from others. This hadith teaches us to be respectful and courteous when we enter someone else's space and not intrude without their consent or knowledge first. We should always ask for permission before entering any place so we can protect ourselves from being seen by people who do not want us there in the first place. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about respecting other people's privacy and boundaries which are essential values in any society or culture today.
