Jami at-Tirmidhi 2777 (Book 43, Hadith 47) #28417
Looking Twice is Not Appropriate

SUMMARY: It is not appropriate to look at someone more than once.

Narrated Ibn Buraidah: from his father (from the Prophet ) who said: "O 'Ali! Do not follow a look with a look, the first is for you, but the next is not for you".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، رَفَعَهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا عَلِيُّ لاَ تُتْبِعِ النَّظْرَةَ النَّظْرَةَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ الأُولَى وَلَيْسَتْ لَكَ الآخِرَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شَرِيكٍ

TOPICS

QUICK LESSONS:
Show respect when looking at someone by only looking once.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is important to show respect and etiquette when looking at someone. We should not look at someone more than once, as this can be seen as disrespectful or inappropriate. The Prophet ? was teaching 'Ali about how to behave in a respectful manner, and this advice applies to all of us today. We should always be mindful of our behaviour when interacting with others, and remember that we should never stare or look too long at anyone else. This hadith also reminds us that we should always treat others with kindness and respect, no matter who they are or what their background may be.
