Lowering The Gaze And Guarding The Modesty

Tradition n. 326

قالَ اللّهُ تَعالى :

قُل لِلمُؤمِنينَ يَغُضُّوا مِن اَبصارِهِم وَ يَح فَظُوا فُرُوجَهُم ذلِكَ اَزكى لَهُم اِنَّ اللّهَ خَبيرٌ بِما يَصنَعُونَ.

Allah (SwT) said:

“Tell the believing men to cast down their looks and guard their private parts, that is purer for them, surely Allah is well acquainted with what they do.” (Sura An-Nur, 24:30)

Tradition n. 327

قالَ الإمامُ الصّادِقُ عليه السلام :

اَلنَّظَرُ سَه مٌ مِن سِهامِ اِبليـسَ مَسمُومٌ، مَن تَرَكَها لِلّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لا لِغَيرِهِ اَع قَبَهُ اللّهُ اِيمانًا يَجِدُ طَع مَهُ.

Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “An unlawful look (at ghayr mahram) is an arrow from the arrows of Satan which is poisonous. He who abandons it for the sake of Allah, Almighty and Glorious, and not for something else, consequently, Allah will give him a Faith that he finds its pleasure (in his self).”

Tradition n. 328

قالَ الإمامُ الصّادِقُ عليه السلام :

فَزِنَى العَينَينِ اَلنَّظَرُ، وَزِنَى الفَمِ اَلقُب لَة ، وَزِنَى اليَدَينِ اَللَّمـسُ صَدَّقَ الفَرجُ ذَلِكَ أَم كَذَّبَ.

Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “The fornication of the eyes is the intercourse of unlawful (lustful) looks, the fornication of the lips is a forbidden kiss (of ghayr mahram), and the fornication of the hands is touching (hands or other limbs of a ghayr mahram), whether the response of the genital affirm it or disaffirms it”

Tradition n. 329

قالَ الإمامُ الباقِرُ عليه السلام :

لَعَنَ رَسُولُ الله صَلَّى اللّه عليه وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ رَجُـلاً يَنظُرُ إِلى فَرجِ اِمرَأَةٍ لا تَحِلُّ لَهُ، وَ رَجُلاً خانَ اَخاهُ فِي اِمرَأَتِـه ، وَ رَجُلاً يَح تاجُ النّاسُ إِلى نَف عِهِ فَسَأَلَهُمُ الرُّش وَةَ.

Imam al-Baqir (‘a) said: “The Holy Prophet (S) cursed the man who looks at the private part of a woman who is not lawful to him, and also the man proves treacherous to his religious brother's wife, and also the man that people need his help (because of his position) but he asks for a bribe from them.”
