Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say this from the pulpit: "I urge you to be cautious regarding the wealth of two weak ones—the orphan and the woman."

Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, some people will be raised from their graves with fire coming out of their mouths." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Who will these people be?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Have you not reflected? Allah Almighty has said: 'Indeed, those who consume the wealth of orphans unjustly are only filling their bellies with fire.'"

Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah! Such flesh and blood will not enter Paradise whose nourishment has been from the unlawful; the Fire is more deserving of them. O Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah! People go out in two conditions. One person frees himself and liberates himself, and another enslaves himself. O Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah! Prayer is a means of attaining closeness, charity is a proof, fasting is a shield, and charity wipes out sin just as a strong person climbs Safa.”

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), strive to avoid those (sins) which appear small, for even regarding them there will be questioning in the presence of Allah Almighty.

Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“Make a barrier between yourself and the unlawful by means of the lawful. Whoever does so will safeguard his honor and religion, and whoever grazes (his flock) near the sanctuary will soon be grazing within it. Every king has a sanctuary, and indeed, the sanctuary of Allah on earth is His prohibited things.”

Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: O Ali! You have a treasure and you are the one with two horns. Do not raise your gaze a second time after the first, for you are entitled to the first glance but you are not entitled to the second.

Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about an accidental glance, so he instructed me to turn my gaze away.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The command to turn the gaze away is obligatory regarding that which is not permissible, and this is combined with the prohibition of its opposite, and that is, it is forbidden to look at that which has been declared unlawful.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a woman (and he liked her), so he went to Lady Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), fulfilled his desire with her, then came out (of the house) and said: When a woman comes, she comes in the form of Satan. When any man sees a woman and is attracted to her, he should go to his wife, for his wife has the same as that woman has.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person sees a woman who pleases him, he should go to his wife and be intimate with her, for she has the same (pleasure and closeness)."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "No man should look at the private parts of another man, and no woman should look at the private parts of another woman. No man should lie with another man under a single garment (while naked), and no woman should lie with another woman under a single garment (while naked)."
