I did not see anything so resembling minor sins as what Abu Huraira said from the Prophet, who said, "Allah has written for the son of Adam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the innerself wishes and longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation."

مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِاللَّمَمِ مِمَّا قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَا الْعَيْنِ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَا اللِّسَانِ الْمَنْطِقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَمَنَّى وَتَشْتَهِي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ وَقَالَ شَبَابَةُ حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَاءُ عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

Verily Allah has fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in, and which he of necessity must commit. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look, and the adultery of the tongue is the licentious speech, the heart desires and yearns, which the parts may or may not put into effect.

مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِاللَّمَمِ مِمَّا قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَى الْعَيْنَيْنِ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَى اللِّسَانِ النُّطْقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَمَنَّى وَتَشْتَهِي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ قَالَ عَبْدٌ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ

Abu Huraira reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying. Allah fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in. There would be no escape from it. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كُتِبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ نَصِيبُهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى مُدْرِكٌ ذَلِكَ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنَانِ زِنَاهُمَا النَّظَرُ وَالأُذُنَانِ زِنَاهُمَا الاِسْتِمَاعُ وَاللِّسَانُ زِنَاهُ الْكَلاَمُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاهَا الْبَطْشُ وَالرِّجْلُ زِنَاهَا الْخُطَا وَالْقَلْبُ يَهْوَى وَيَتَمَنَّى وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ

Ibn ‘Abbas said “I did not see anything more resembling to minor sins than what Abu Hurairah reported from the Prophet ﷺ who said “Allaah has decreed for the children of Adam a share in adultery, he will get it by all means, the adultery of eyes is looking; the adultery of tongue is speaking; the soul desires and has a passion; the private parts confirms or falsifies it.”

مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِاللَّمَمِ مِمَّا قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَا الْعَيْنَيْنِ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَا اللِّسَانِ الْمَنْطِقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَمَنَّى وَتَشْتَهِي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying “ Every child of Adam has his share in adultery. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. This version goes “And the hands commit adultery; their adultery is catching; and the legs commit adultery; their adultery is walking; and the mouth commits adultery – its adultery is kissing.”

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِكُلِّ ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظُّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ وَالْيَدَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ فَزِنَاهُمَا الْبَطْشُ وَالرِّجْلاَنِ تَزْنِيَانِ فَزِنَاهُمَا الْمَشْىُ وَالْفَمُ يَزْنِي فَزِنَاهُ الْقُبَلُ

Ibn ‘Abbas said “I did not see anything more resembling to minor sins than what Abu Hurairah reported from the Prophet ﷺ who said “Allaah has decreed for the children of Adam a share in adultery, he will get it by all means, the adultery of eyes is looking; the adultery of tongue is speaking; the soul desires and has a passion; the private parts confirms or falsifies it.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2152)

مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِاللَّمَمِ مِمَّا قَالَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ وَزِنَا الْعَيْنِ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَا اللِّسَانِ النُّطْقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَمَنَّى وَتَشْتَهِي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Every son of Adam has a share of adultery. The eyes commit adultery by looking, and their adultery is the glance. The hands commit adultery by touching, and their adultery is the grip. The feet commit adultery by walking, and their adultery is the stride. The mouth commits adultery by speaking, and their adultery is the kiss. The heart desires and longs, and the private part confirms or denies that."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِكُلِّ بَنِي آدَمَ حَظٌّ مِنَ الزِّنَا فَالْعَيْنَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَزِنَاهُمَا النَّظَرُ وَالْيَدَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَزِنَاهُمَا الْبَطْشُ وَالرِّجْلَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَزِنَاهُمَا الْمَشْيُ وَالْفَمُ يَزْنِي وَزِنَاهُ الْقُبَلُ وَالْقَلْبُ يَهْوَى وَيَتَمَنَّى وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ

Abu Huraira reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying. Allah fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in. There would be no escape from it. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect. (Using translation from Muslim 2658a)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ كُتِبَ حَظُّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنُ زِنَاهَا النَّظَرُ وَالْآذَانُ زِنَاهَا الِاسْتِمَاعُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاهَا الْبَطْشُ وَالرِّجْلُ زِنَاهَا الْمَشْيُ وَاللِّسَانُ زِنَاهُ الْكَلَامُ وَالْقَلْبُ يَهْوَى وَيَتَمَنَّى وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ الْفَرْجُ

(Using translation from Muslim 2658a)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ كُتِبَ حَظٌّ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنُ زِنَاهَا النَّظَرُ وَالرِّجْلُ زِنَاهَا الْمَشْيُ وَالْأُذُنُ زِنَاهَا السَّمَاعُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاهَا الْبَطْشُ وَاللِّسَانُ زِنَاهُ الْكَلَامُ وَالْقَلْبُ يَتَمَنَّى وَيَشْتَهِي وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ الْفَرْجُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has decreed for the son of Adam his share of adultery which will inevitably happen to him; the adultery of the eyes is looking, the adultery of the tongue is speaking, and the soul desires and covets it, while the private parts either confirm or deny it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَى الْعَيْنُ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَى اللِّسَانِ النُّطْقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَتَمَنَّى ذَلِكَ وَتَشْتَهِي وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ»

[AI] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Every son of Adam has a share of fornication, and there is no doubt about it. The eye commits adultery by looking, the tongue commits adultery by speaking, the heart commits adultery by desiring, and the private parts confirm or deny it.'"

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ بَنِي آدَمَ لَهُ نَصِيبٌ مِنَ الزِّنَى أَدْرَكَهُ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنُ زِنَاهَا النَّظَرُ وَاللِّسَانُ زِنَاهُ النُّطْقُ وَالْقَلْبُ زِنَاهُ التَّمَنِّي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ وَيُكَذِّبُ»

[AI] 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."

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»

[AI] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "For every son of Adam, his portion of adultery has been decreed, and the eyes commit adultery by looking, and the ears commit adultery by listening, and the hands commit adultery by touching, and the feet commit adultery by walking, and the tongue commits adultery by speaking, and the heart desires and agrees to what is sinful, and the private parts either confirm it or deny it."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسِ ابْنِ آدَمَ كَتَبَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى الْعَيْنُ زِنَاؤُهَا النَّظَرُ وَالْأُذُنُ زِنَاؤُهَا السَّمْعُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاؤُهَا الْبَطْشُ وَالرِّجْلُ زِنَاؤُهَا الْمَشْيُ وَاللِّسَانُ زِنَاؤُهُ الْكَلَامُ وَالْقَلْبُ يَهْوَى الشَّيْءَ وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ الْفَرْجُ»

[AI] Narrated by the Prophet, ﷺ , "Indeed, Allah the Almighty has decreed upon the son of Adam his share of adultery, and no doubt, he will definitely come across it. The adultery of the hand is the (actual) physical involvement, and the adultery of the tongue is through uttering (inappropriate) words, and the soul desires and craves (adultery), and the private parts either affirm or deny (committing adultery)."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَا الْيَدَيْنِ الْبَطْشُ وَزِنَا اللِّسَانِ النُّطْقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَمَنَّى وَتَشْتَهِي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, Allah has decreed for the son of Adam his share of adultery which he inevitably will commit. The adultery of the eyes is looking, the adultery of the tongue is speaking, and the soul desires and longs for it, and the private parts confirm or deny it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَا الْعَيْنَيْنِ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَا اللِّسَانِ النُّطْقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَتَمَنَّى وَتَشْتَهِي وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "For every son of Adam, there is a share of zina. The eyes commit zina through their gaze, and their zina is looking. The hands commit zina through their touch, and their zina is grasping. The feet commit zina through their walk, and their zina is walking. The mouth commits zina, and its zina is kissing. The heart desires and wishes, and it either confirms or denies it." Abu Hurairah heard and witnessed this.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِكُلِّ ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظُّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا فَالْعَيْنَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَزِنَاهُمَا النَّظَرُ وَالْيَدَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَزِنَاهُمَا الْبَطْشُ وَالرِّجْلَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَزِنَاهُمَا الْمَشْيُ وَالْفَمُ يَزْنِي وَزِنَاهُ الْقُبَلُ وَالْقَلْبُ يَهُمُّ أَوْ يَتَمَنَّى وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ شَهِدَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ سَمِعَهُ وَبَصُرَهُ

"إنَّ الله ﷻ كتبَ على ابن آدم حظَّه من الزنى، أدرك ذلك لا مَحَالةَ: فزنى العين النَّظَرُ، وزنى اللسانِ المَنْطِقُ، والنَّفْسُ تَتَمَنَّى وتَشْتَهِي، والفرجُ يُصَدَّق ذَلك أو يكذبهُ".

"علَى كُلِّ نَفسٍ مِن ابنِ آدَمَ كُتب حَظُّ مِن الزِّنَا، أَدْرَكَ ذَلكَ لَا مَحَالةَ، فَالعينُ زِنَاها النَّظَر، والرِّجلُ زِنَاها المَشْيُ، والأُذُنُ زِنَاها الاسْتماعُ واليدُ زِناها البَطشُ، واللِّسَانُ زِناهُ الكَلَامُ، والْقَلْبُ أَو يَتَمَنَّى، ويُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَو يُكَذِّبَهُ الفرجُ".
