Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
The manifestation of a person's beauty and attractiveness is his face, which is an extremely delicate and sensitive organ and cannot bear being struck. Striking can disfigure a person's face, which would affect his beauty and attractiveness. Because striking the face can cause a person to lose his eyesight, the eye can be affected. The second reason for this will be mentioned ahead.
