Sunan an-Nasai 3234 (Book 26, Hadith 39) #17846
Seeing Before Deciding

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad advised a man to look at the woman he was proposing to before making a decision.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A man proposed to a woman from among the Ansar and the Messenger of Allah said to him: 'Have you seen her?' He said: 'No'. So he told him to look at her".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ - عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ خَطَبَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ هَلْ نَظَرْتَ إِلَيْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah tells us that the Prophet Muhammad advised a man who was proposing to a woman from among the Ansar, or helpers, to look at her before making his decision. This is an important lesson for us as it teaches us that we should take our time and think carefully about any decisions we make in life. We should not rush into things without considering all of our options and looking into them thoroughly first. It also shows us that it is important to be mindful of other people's feelings when making decisions, as this man was asked if he had seen the woman he wanted to marry before deciding on her. This teaches us respect for others and encourages us to think about how our decisions will affect those around us.
