حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ، أَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، ثنا شَدَّادُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَزِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: >لَأَنْ يُطْعَنَ فِي رَأْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ بِمِخْيَطٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمَسَّ امْرَأَةً لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ<

Translation

Ḥadīth [20/486]: It is narrated on the authority of Ma’qil bin Yasār ^{[d. Around 60H]} (may Allāh be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “If one of you were to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle, that would be better for him than touching a woman who is not permissible for him.”
