حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ

قَالَ خَطَبْتُ امْرَأَةً فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَخَبَّأُ لَهَا حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا فِي نَخْلٍ لَهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَتَفْعَلُ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا أَلْقَى اللَّهُ فِي قَلْبِ امْرِئٍ خِطْبَةَ امْرَأَةٍ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا»

“I proposed marriage to a woman, then I hid and waited to see her until I saw her among some date palm trees that belonged to her.” It was said to him: “Do you do such a thing when you are a companion of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)?” He said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying: ‘When Allah causes a man to propose to a woman, there is nothing wrong with him looking at her.’”

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু সালামাহ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি এক মহিলাকে বিবাহের পয়গাম পাঠালাম। আমি তাকে দেখার জন্য চুপিসারে তার বাগানে যাতায়াত করতাম এবং সেখানে তাকে দেখে ফেললাম। তাকে বলা হলো, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সাহাবী হয়ে তুমি এই কাজ করলে?

তিনি বলেন, আমি রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ যখন আল্লাহ্ কারো অন্তরে কোন মহিলাকে বিবাহ করার প্রস্তাব দানের আগ্রহ পয়দা করেন, তখন তাকে দেখে নেয়াতে দোষের কিছু নেই।

محمد بن مسلمہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے ایک عورت کو شادی کا پیغام دیا تو میں اسے دیکھنے کے لیے چھپنے لگا، یہاں تک کہ میں نے اسے اسی کے باغ میں دیکھ لیا، لوگوں نے ان سے کہا: آپ ایسا کرتے ہیں جب کہ آپ صحابی رسول ہیں؟

تو انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے سنا ہے: جب اللہ کسی مرد کے دل میں کسی عورت کو نکاح کا پیغام دینے کا خیال پیدا کرے، تو اس عورت کو دیکھنے میں کوئی حرج نہیں ہے ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hafsh bin Ghiyats] dari [Hajjaj] dari [Muhammad bin Sulaiman] dari pamannya [Sahl bin Abu Hatsmah] dari [Muhammad bin Maslamah] ia berkata, "Aku telah meminang seorang wanita, lalu aku bersembunyi di kebun kurma miliknya hingga aku dapat melihatnya."

Maka dikatakan kepadanya, "Kenapa kamu lakukan ini, padahal engkau adalah sahabat Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam! " Ia pun menjawab, "Aku mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika Allah telah memantapkan pada hati seseorang untuk meminang, maka tidak apa-apa ia melihatnya

Muhammed bin Mesleme (bin Seleme) (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göre kendisi: Ben bir kadınla evlenmek istedim. Artık ona gizlice bakmak için çalışmaya başladım. Nihayet kendisine ait bir hurma ağaçları içinde ona baktım, demiş, sonra kendisine: — Sen, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in sahabisi olduğun halde bunu yapar mısın, denilmiş.

Kendisi de: — Ben Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'den şöyle buyururken işittim, diye cevap vermiştir: «Allah Teala bir kadınla evlenme isteğini bir adamın kalbine attığı zaman, artık adamın o kadına bakmasında hiç bir beis yoktur.» Not: Zevald'de şöyle denilmiştir: Bunun senedinde bulunan Haccac, İbn-i Ertad el-Kufi olan ravidir ki bu hem zayıftır, hem de tedlisçi olup bunu an'ane ile rivayet etmiştir.

Lakin bu hadisi yalnız Haccac rivayet etmemiştir, Çünkü İbn-i Hibban kendi sahihinde başka bir senedIe rivayet etmiştir. AÇIKLAMA 1866’da

What it means

This Hadīth shows that Muhammad ibn Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to engage a woman. He would hide for her so as to see her. A Tābi‘i saw him and was amazed at his attitude.

So Muhammad told him that he based his behavior on the Prophet's command that if a man wants to engage a woman, such that Allah has cast an inclination to marrying her in his heart, he should look at her. Therefore, it is recommended to look at one's prospective wife even without her knowledge. In this respect, one might hide for her, which is only permissible for this necessity.
