67 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أبنا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ النَّاقِدُ، أبنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَاطِبِيُّ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَجَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «زِنَى الْعُيُونِ النَّظَرُ، وَزِنَى اللِّسَانِ النُّطْقُ، وَزِنَى الْيَدِ الْبَطْشُ، وَزِنَى الرِّجْلَيْنِ الْمَشْيُ، وَإِنَّمَا يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ عَنْهُ الْفَرْجُ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The adultery of the eyes is looking, the adultery of the tongue is speaking, the adultery of the hands is touching, the adultery of the feet is walking, and indeed the private part either confirms it or denies it.”
Brief Explanation
Explanation
In this hadith, it is explained that the human body parts—such as the eyes, tongue, hands, feet, etc.—are, in one way or another, involved in fornication (zina). The fornication of the eyes is to look at a non-mahram without valid reason; the fornication of the tongue is to speak obscenely; the fornication of the hands is to touch a non-mahram; and the fornication of the feet is to walk towards indecent acts.
Then, the private part either affirms or denies this fornication. Thus, if it acts in accordance with the desires of the limbs, it is as if it has affirmed it, and if it acts contrary to them, it has denied it. Due to the severe gravity of fornication and its extremely harmful consequences and effects, it is prohibited in all religions. For further details, refer to Dr. Fazl Ilahi (hafizahullah)'s book “The Gravity of Fornication and Its Evil Effects.”
