Fatima Zahra and the Blind Man
One day Prophet Mohammad was sitting in Fatima Zahra’s house when they heard a knock on the door. The housemaid came to Prophet Mohammad and said: "Oh! Prophet of Allah your companion Abdullah Ibn Umme Maqdoom (who was blind) has come to visit you." Prophet Mohammad immediately told the housemaid to let him in. At this time his daughter Fatima Zahra, got up to go to her room. Prophet Mohammad told her "My daughter Fatima, where are you going?" Fatima Zahra replied: "since your companion is coming to see you, I am going to my room to observe my Hijab from him." Prophet Mohammad replied: "But my daughter Fatima, my companion is blind and can’t see you." She said: "My father, he can’t see me but I can see him so I must go inside."
This is not to say that the Prophet of Allah was not aware of the matter but this question was asked to inform the women, of the importance of Hijab. And that it is not sufficient to think that we are capable of controlling our desires and will not think or look badly at someone.
