Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #1074
Asking Permission
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِذْنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The
ear is put in the place of the eye."
