بَابُ تَحْرِيمِ النَّظْرِ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الْأَجْنَبِيَّةِ لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ مُقَدِّمَاتِ الزناChapter: Prohibition of Looking at a Non-Mahram Woman as It Is a Prelude to Adultery
Hadith 6656
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تُتْبِعِ النَّظْرَةَ النَّظْرَةَ فَإِنَّ الْأُولَى لَكَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ الْأَخِيرَةُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Do not follow one glance with another glance; the first glance is forgiven, but you are not permitted the second.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The first glance refers to an accidental, unintentional look. If a person, acting upon these ahadith, immediately averts his gaze from a non-mahram woman upon whom his glance has fallen, then the image of that woman cannot be retained in his mind. As a result of this action, there comes blessing (barakah) into his being, and in this way, a person is completely protected from impure thoughts.
