Somewhat of a security risk; when using sudo, I recommend using 
full path to the executable: 
sudo /bin/ls /your/file

and in your /etc/sudoers file:

# Hobbit may run /bin/ls but flags are not allowed
hobbit   ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/ls [!-]*


t09trbrxs# su - hobbit
hobbit (at) t09trbrxs:~> sudo /bin/ls /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
hobbit (at) t09trbrxs:~> sudo /bin/ls --color=always
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
hobbit's password:
