Hadith 137
General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)
Narrated Huzayl:
A man came. Uthman's version has: Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas came. He stood at the door. Uthman's version has: (He stood) facing the door. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: Away from it, (stand) this side or that side. Asking permission is meant to escape from the look of an eye.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ هُزَيْلٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ - فَوَقَفَ عَلَى بَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَقَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْبَابِ - فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
هَكَذَا عَنْكَ أَوْ هَكَذَا فَإِنَّمَا الاِسْتِئْذَانُ مِنَ النَّظَرِ
