6- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنِّي مُبْتَلًى بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الْجَمِيلَةِ فَيُعْجِبُنِي النَّظَرُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَلِيُّ لا بَأْسَ إِذَا عَرَفَ اللهُ مِنْ نِيَّتِكَ الصِّدْقَ وَإِيَّاكَ وَالزِّنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَمْحَقُ الْبَرَكَةَ وَيُهْلِكُ الدِّينَ.
6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad fm Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn Suwayd who has said the following: “I once said to abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, ‘I am addicted to looking at beautiful women and I like looking at them. He (the Imam) said, ‘O Ali, it is not unlawful if Allah finds that your intention is truthful, but you must remain on your guard against fornication because it destroys bounties and invalidates religion.’”
