Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was superior to all people in good character. I had a brother named Abu Umair. He stated that I think the child had been weaned. Whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) would come, he would jokingly say to him, "O Abu Umair! What happened to your little bird?" He used to play with that child.

Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I was in a gathering of the Ansar when Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) came as if he was anxious. He said, "I sought permission to enter at 'Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) place three times, but I did not receive any reply, so I returned." (When 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) found out), he asked, "What prevented you (from entering)?" I said, "I asked for permission to enter three times, and when I did not receive any reply, I returned. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that when any of you seeks permission to enter three times and is not granted permission, he should return." 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah! You must bring a witness for this companionship of the hadith." (Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the people in the gathering), "Is there anyone among you who has heard this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah! No one will stand with you to testify to this except the youngest person in the group." Abu Sa'id said, "I was the youngest person in the group, so I stood up with him and said to 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that indeed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said so."

I heard from Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), he used to narrate that I came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) regarding the debt that was upon my father. I knocked on the door. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) inquired: Who is it? I said, "It is me." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "'It is me,' 'It is me,'" as if he disliked this answer. (Because sometimes, just from the voice, the owner of the house cannot recognize who it is, so one should mention one's name in reply.)

Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d al-Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man began to peep through a hole in the door of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace and blessings be upon him) house. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had an iron comb with which he was combing his hair. When he saw the man, he said,“If I had known that you were peeping while waiting for me, I would have poked this into your eye.”Then he said,“The command to seek permission (before entering the house) has been given for this very reason, so that one’s gaze does not fall (inside without permission).”

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a person began to peep into one of the rooms of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) advanced towards him with the tip of an arrow or with several arrow tips, as if I am seeing the Prophet (peace be upon him) approaching that person quietly in such a way, as if he would prick him with those arrow tips.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a person is peeping into your house (through a hole or a lattice, etc.) without your permission and you throw a pebble at him which causes his eye to be gouged out, then there is no punishment upon you.
