1734 - مَن رَأى‏ امرَأةً تُعجِبُهُ‏

1734. HE WHO SEES A WOMAN THAT PLEASES HIM

6139.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إذا رأى‏ أحَدُكُمُ امرأةً تُعجِبُهُ فلْيَأْتِ أهلَهُ ؛ فإنَّ عِندَ أهلهِ مِثلَ ما رأى‏ ، ولا يَجعَلَنَّ لِلشَّيطانِ إلى‏ قَلبِهِ سَبيلاً ، وليَصرِفْ بَصَرَهُ عَنها ، فإن لَم تَكُنْ لَهُ زَوجَةٌ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكعَتَينِ ويَحمَدِ اللَّهَ كثيراً ، ويُصَلّي علَى النَّبيِّ وآلِهِ ، ثُمّ ليَسألِ‏اللَّهَ مِن فَضلِهِ فإنّهُ يُبيحُ لَهُ برأفتِهِ ما يُغنيهِ .¹

6139.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'If one of you sees a woman he is interested in, he should go to his wife, for she possesses whatever he saw. He should not allow the devil a path to his heart, and he should avert his eyes away from her. If he does not have a wife, he should offer two units of prayer and praise Allah a lot, and invoke blessings on the Prophet and his household, then he should ask from the grace of Allah, for He will grant him from His compassion that which will make him free from need.' ²
