==Poke the Peeping Tom==
Sahih Al-Bukhari
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|9|83|38}}|Narrated Anas:
Volume 9, Book 83, Number 38 :
A man peeped into one of the dwelling places of the Prophet. The Prophet got up and aimed a sharp-edged arrow head (or wooden stick) at him to poke him stealthily. }}

{{Quote|{{Bukhari|9|83|39}}| Narrated Abu Huraira:
Narrated by Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi


Abul Qasim said, "If any person peeps at you without your permission and you poke him with a stick and injure his eye, you will not be blamed."}}
A man peeped through a hole in the door of Allah's Apostle's house, and at that time, Allah's Apostle had a Midri (an iron comb or bar) with which he was rubbing his head. So when Allah's Apostle saw him, he said (to him), "If I had been sure that you were looking at me (through the door), I would have poked your eye with this (sharp iron bar)." Allah's Apostle added, "The asking for permission to enter has been enjoined so that one may not look unlawfully (at what there is in the house without the permission of its people)."
