This Hadīth indicates the desirability of looking at the woman whom one wants to marry, for this is more likely to develop harmony and agreement between them. So when they get married, they would have known each other, and thus would not regret their decision. For this reason, Al-Mughīrah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to consult the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about marrying a woman. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded him to look at her so as to make sure that there is concord between them. This Hadīth also indicates the obligation of accepting whatever is reported from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) without the least discomfort, for the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commands nothing but good and righteousness.
