A man peeped through a hole in the door of Messenger of Allah ﷺ's house, and at that time, Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a Midri (an iron comb or bar) with which he was rubbing his head. So when Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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)."

A man peeped into the house of the Prophet ﷺ through a hole while the Prophet ﷺ was scratching his head with a Midrai (a certain kind of comb).

nasai-kubra:7035 – Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > al-Layth > Ibn Shihāb > Sahl b. Saʿd

If I were to know that you had been peeping through the door, I would have thrust that into your eyes, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Permission is needed as a protection against glance. (Using translation from Muslim 2156a)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٠٣٥ – أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا اطَّلَعَ مِنْ جُحْرٍ فِي بَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِدْرًى يَحُكُّ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَنْظُرُنِي لَطَعَنْتُ بِهِ فِي عَيْنِكَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِذْنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَصَرِ»
