The adultery of the eyes is looking at that which is forbidden; the adultery of the ears is listening to that which is forbidden; the adultery of the tongue is uttering that which is forbidden; the adultery of the hand is grasping that which is forbidden; the adultery of the feet is walking to that which is forbidden; and the heart yearns and desires and the genitals confirm it or give it the lie (Bokhari and Muslim). 1628.

We replied: We do no harm, we only sit and converse. He said: If you must, then discharge your obligation; namely, guard your eyes, respond to salutation and converse decently (Muslim).
