Sahih al-Bukhari 6241 (Book 79, Hadith 15) #5994
The Importance of Taking Permission

SUMMARY: It is important to take permission before entering someone's dwelling place, as it is disrespectful to look at someone without their consent.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd: A man peeped through a round hole into the dwelling place of the Prophet, while the Prophet had a midrai (an iron comb) with which he was scratching his head. the Prophet said, " Had known you were looking (through the hole), I would have pierced your eye with it (ie, the comb)". Verily! The order of taking permission to enter has been enjoined because of that sight, (that one should not look unlawfully at the state of others).
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ حَفِظْتُهُ كَمَا أَنَّكَ هَا هُنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ اطَّلَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جُحْرٍ فِي حُجَرِ النَّبِيِّ وَمَعَ النَّبِيِّ مِدْرًى يَحُكُّ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَنْظُرُ لَطَعَنْتُ بِهِ فِي عَيْنِكَ، إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الاِسْتِئْذَانُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take permission before entering someone's dwelling place
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of taking permission before entering someone's dwelling place. It teaches us that it is disrespectful to look at someone without their consent. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was combing his hair when a man peeped through a hole in the wall and saw him. When the Prophet ﷺ found out, he said that if he had known earlier, he would have pierced his eye with the comb. This shows how serious this issue is and how important it is for us to take permission before entering any private space or looking at anyone without their consent.

The Prophet ﷺ also taught us that we should respect other people's privacy and not intrude on them without asking for permission first. We should always be mindful of our actions and be respectful towards others in order to maintain peace and harmony in society.
