Hadith 796
۞
Hadith.3913 - It is narrated from Muhammad Al-Tayyar, who said
I entered Medina looking for a house to rent. I came across a property with two rooms separated by a door, and a woman was living there.
She said: "Would you like to rent this room?"
I said: "But there is a door between the two rooms, and I am a young man."
She said: "I will close the door between me and you."
So, I moved my belongings into the room and said to her: "Close the door."
She said: "I need it open for ventilation. Leave it."
I replied: "No, I am a young man, and you are a young woman, close it."
She said: "Stay in your room. I will not come to you or approach you," but she refused to close the door.
So I went to Abu Abdillah (as) and asked him about this matter.
Imam (as) said: "Move out of there, for when a man and a woman are left alone in a house, the third one among them is Satan."

دَخَلْتُ اَلْمَدِينَةَ وَ طَلَبْتُ بَيْتاً أَتَكَارَاهُ فَدَخَلْتُ دَاراً فِيهَا بَيْتَانِ بَيْنَهُمَا بَابٌ وَ فِيهِ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ تُكَارِي هَذَا اَلْبَيْتَ قُلْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا بَابٌ وَ أَنَا شَابٌّ قَالَتْ أَنَا أُغْلِقُ اَلْبَابَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَحَوَّلْتُ مَتَاعِي فِيهِ وَ قُلْتُ لَهَا أَغْلِقِي اَلْبَابَ فَقَالَتْ تَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ اَلرَّوْحُ دَعْهُ فَقُلْتُ لاَ أَنَا شَابٌّ وَ أَنْتِ شَابَّةٌ أَغْلِقِيهِ قَالَتِ اُقْعُدْ أَنْتَ فِي بَيْتِكَ فَلَسْتُ آتِيكَ وَ لاَ أَقْرَبُكَ وَ أَبَتْ أَنْ تُغْلِقَهُ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ "تَحَوَّلْ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّ اَلرَّجُلَ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةَ إِذَا خُلِّيَا فِي بَيْتٍ كَانَ ثَالِثُهُمَا اَلشَّيْطَانَ".
