'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.'"
Al-Harith ibn 'Abdullah al-Ansari said, "I saw Umm ad-Darda' going to visit (a sick) Ansari man from the mosque and she was on her mount in an uncovered howdah."
Zayd ibn Arqam said, "I had a pain in my eyes and the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, visited me and said, 'Zayd, if
tour eyes were to go blind because of their illness, what would you do?'
He said, 'I would be steadfast and reckon my reward to be with Allah.'
He said, 'If that happens to your eyes and you are steadfast and reckon
your reward to be with Allah, then your reward will be the Garden.'"
