Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I and Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) were present with the Prophet (peace be upon him). During this time, Ibn Umm Maktum came. He asked for permission to enter. This was after the command of hijab had been revealed. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Both of you get up. We said: He is blind, he cannot see us. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Are both of you blind? Will you not see him?

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) "Are you blind?" Here, literally, information is being sought, but through this, what is meant is to prohibit both women from looking at that man who is blind. In this is evidence that it is also forbidden for women to look at men, except for mahram men, whose ruling is different. And this prohibition is equal, whether those men are blind or sighted.

Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Once she and Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) were present with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: We were sitting with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). During this time, Ibn Umm Maktum came; he presented himself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This was after the command of hijab had been revealed. Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Both of you observe hijab from him. Both of them said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Is he not blind? He cannot see us nor recognize us." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are you both not seeing him?"

Utbah bin Abu Hakim narrates: He asked Sulaiman bin Musa about a person who looks at his wife's private part, so Sulaiman replied, "I asked Ata about this, and he said, 'I asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about this.' So Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, 'The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and I used to perform ghusl from the same vessel, in which our hands would enter one after the other.'
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) pointed towards a vessel present in the house while saying this, whose capacity was as much as 8 qist."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) married Lady Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), he invited people. The people ate the food and then sat down and began to talk. The narrator says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) showed as if he was about to stand up, but even then the people did not get up. When he saw this situation, he stood up. Some of those present also stood up, but three men still remained seated. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) (after going outside) returned and those people were still sitting. He went back again, then those people got up and left. I came and informed the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this: Those people have left, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came until he entered the house. When I was about to enter, he hung a curtain between me and himself. Allah Almighty (on this occasion) revealed this verse: "O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet until permission is given to you." This verse continues up to: "Indeed, this is great in the sight of Allah."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says regarding this verse (the command of Allah Almighty): "Do not enter the houses of the Prophet until permission is given to you for a meal." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had food prepared after marrying one of his noble wives (for the wedding feast). He sent me, and I brought some people. They ate the food, then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and went outside. He came to the house of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and I also followed him. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house and found two men inside. When he saw them, he turned back and did not speak to them. Both of them got up and left the house. On this occasion, the verse regarding the command of hijab was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet until permission is given to you for food, and you are not looking towards the utensils."

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never shook hands with any woman.

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would take (the pledge of allegiance) from women only for that thing which Allah Almighty had commanded him. The blessed hand of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never touched the hand of any woman. When he would take the pledge from those women, he would say to them: I have taken your pledge by words.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates as a marfu’ hadith that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“No man should have intercourse with another man, and no woman should have intercourse with another woman.”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "No woman should press her body against another woman, nor should any man press his body against another man, except that a father may press his body against his child."

Abu Salih narrates: Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the house of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) looking for him, but he could not find him, so he went back. Then, when he met Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and came (with Sayyiduna Ali to the house of Sayyidah Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her), he spoke with Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: I think you had some business with this lady. He replied: Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has forbidden us from going to any woman whose husband is not present.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Salih is Mizan. He is from the people of Basra and is trustworthy. He has heard hadith from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), while Salman Taymi and Muhammad bin Hujadah have narrated from him. Other than these two narrators, no one else has narrated from him. He is not a student of Kalbi, because the student of Kalbi is weak.
