Sunan Abu Dawud 2149 — Regarding The Command To Lower The Gaze

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَزَارِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ الْإِيَادِيِّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ : " يَا عَلِيُّ ، لَا تُتْبِعِ النَّظْرَةَ النَّظْرَةَ ، فَإِنَّ لَكَ الْأُولَى وَلَيْسَتْ لَكَ الْآخِرَةُ " .
Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: The Prophet ﷺ said: to Ali: Do not give a second look, Ali, (because) while you are not to blame for the first, you have no right to the second.

Explanation:
1:
That is, if your gaze happens to fall upon someone unexpectedly for the first time, this is excused,
but for you to look again will be blameworthy.
