Narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I saw Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Basra, following a woman to look at her. So I said to him: You are looking at this woman, while you are among the companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: When Allah Almighty puts the thought in someone's heart to send a proposal to a woman, then there is no harm if he looks at her.
