Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Looking at Women
وَ قَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: اَلرَّجُلُ تَمُرُّ بِهِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى خَلْفِهَا قَالَ "أَ يَسُرُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُنْظَرَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ ذَاتِ قَرَابَتِهِ" قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ "فَارْضَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تَرْضَاهُ لِنَفْسِكَ".
Abu Basir asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a man who looks at a woman passing by and then turns to look at her from behind. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Would any of you like someone to look at his family or close female relatives?" I said: "No." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then be pleased for others what you are pleased with for yourself."
