[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "If Allah puts a proposal of marriage in a person's heart, there is no harm in looking at her." This is narrated by Abd al-Wahid ibn Ziyad from al-Hajjaj from Muhammad ibn Sulaiman ibn Abi Hathmah from his father.  

الطبراني:١٦٦١٤ – حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَاضِي ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ثنا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا مَعَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فِي دَارِهِ فَرَأَى جَارِيَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَطَرَدَهَا بِبَصَرِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ تَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا هَذَا النَّظَرَ؟ فَقَالَ إِنِّي

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا قَذَفَ اللهُ فِي قَلْبِ امْرِئٍ خِطْبَةَ امْرَأَةٍ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا» «هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ»
