A Visitor looking around the House

‘Abdullâh b. Mas’ûd – Allah be pleased with him – went to visit someone who was ill, and a group of people went with him. In the house (where they were visiting) was a woman. One of the visitors, a man, started to look at the woman. ‘Abdullâh [Ibn Mas’ûd] said to him, “If your eye had been gouged out (or popped out] it would have been better for you.”
