قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي مُبْتَلًى بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الْجَمِيلَةِ فَيُعْجِبُنِي النَّظَرُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَلِيُّ لَا بَأْسَ إِذَا عَرَفَ اللَّهُ مِنْ نِيَّتِكَ الصِّدْقَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ الزِّنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَمْحَقُ الْبَرَكَةَ وَ يُهْلِكُ الدِّينَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Suweyd who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I am addicted with the looking at the beautiful woman, and looking at her fascinates me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Ali! It is not unlawful when Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Recognises the sincerity from your intention, but beware of the adultery, for it obliterates the Blessings and destroys the Religion’.
