[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Surely, every human being is inclined to commit adultery, for the eye commits adultery through sight, the hand commits adultery through touch, and the soul desires and approves of it, and the private parts either confirm or deny it.  

أحمد:٨٥٩٨ – حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُّ بَنِي آدَمَ أَصَابَمِنَ الزِّنَا لَا مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنُ زِنَاهَا النَّظَرُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاهَا اللَّمْسُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَهْوَى وَتُحَدِّثُ وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ الْفَرْجُ

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "Every son of Adam is prone to commit adultery, and the eyes commit adultery by looking, the hands commit adultery by touching, and the soul desires and confirms it or denies it."  

ابن حبّان:٤٤٢٢ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ الطُّرْسُوسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمُرَادِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَأْثُرُهُ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ بَنِي آدَمَ أَصَابَ مِنَ الزِّنَى لَا مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنُ زِنَاؤُهَا النَّظَرُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاؤُهَا اللَّمْسُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَهْوَى يُصَدِّقُهُ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ الْفَرْجُ»
