Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #533
Visiting the Ill
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الأَجْلَحِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ يَعُودُهُ، وَمَعَهُ قَوْمٌ، وَفِي الْبَيْتِ امْرَأَةٌ، فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ: لَوْ انْفَقَأَتْ عَيْنُكَ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ.
'Abdullah ibn Abi'l-Hudhayl said, "'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud went to
visit a sick person with some other people. There was a woman in the room
and one of the men began to look at her, 'Abdullah said to him, 'It would
have been better for you if your eyes had been gouged out.'"
