حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ هُزَيْلٍ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَعْدٌ فَوَقَفَ عَلَی بَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَقَامَ عَلَی الْبَابِ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْبَابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَکَذَا عَنْکَ أَوْ هَکَذَا فَإِنَّمَا الِاسْتِئْذَانُ مِنْ النَّظَرِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5174
Narrated Huzayl: A man came. Uthman's version has: Saad ibn Abu Waqqas 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.
