حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا زَوَّجَ أَحَدُکُمْ خَادِمَهُ عَبْدَهُ أَوْ أَجِيرَهُ فَلَا يَنْظُرْ إِلَی مَا دُونَ السُّرَّةِ وَفَوْقَ الرُّکْبَةِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَصَوَابُهُ سَوَّارُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمُزَنِيُّ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ وَهِمَ فِيهِ وَکِيعٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4114
Narrated Amr bin Suhaib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported the Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you marries his female servant to his slave or to his employee, he should not look at her private part below the navel and above the knees. Abu Dawud said: The correct name is Sawwad bin Dawud al-Muzani al-Sairafi (and not Dawud bin Sawwad as mentioned in the chain). The narrator Waki misunderstood it.
