حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، (وَاللَّفْظُ لإِسْحَاقَ) قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِاللَّمَمِ مِمَّا قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا 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

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: 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.

ইবনু বাশশার ও আবূ বকর ইবনু নাফি (রহঃ) ... আবূ বিশর (রহঃ) থেকে এ সনদে অনুরূপ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন। তবে হাদীসে فَسُئِلُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ (তারা এ বিষয়ে জিজ্ঞেস করল) এ স্থলে فَسَأَلَهُمْ (তিনি তাদেরকে এ বিষয়ে জিজ্ঞেস করলেন) বাক্যটি বর্ণিত আছে।

ابن بشار ، ابو بکر بن نافع ، محمد بن جعفر ، شعبہ ، ابی بشراس سندکے ساتھ حضرت ابی بشر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے اسی طرح روایت نقل کی گئی ہے اور اس میں ہے کہ آپ نے ان سے اس کی وجہ پوچھی ۔

{…} Bize, bu hadîsi İbni Beşşâr ile Ebû Bekir b. Nâfi' hep birden Muhammed b. Cafer'den, o da Şu'be'den, o da Ebû Bişr'dari bu isnâdla rivayet ettiler. Yalnız burada râvi: «Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) Yahudilere bunun sebebini sordu.» demiş

What it means

Except for those whom Allah has protected, everyone ends up fornicating. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned examples of fornication. The eyes fornicate, i.e. when a man looks at a woman, even if not lustfully, who is not from his Mahrams, this is one kind of fornication. The ears fornicate by listening to and enjoying the voice of a woman.

The hands fornicate by touching. The feet fornicate by going to a place of immorality, or following a woman that one unlawfully desires. The heart fornicates by being inclined to women. The genitals prove that when they commit real fornication. If they do not fornicate, then this will be disapproval of other organs’ fornication.

From this, men should learn to be cautious not to get attached to women, listen to their voice, see them, touch them, pursue them, nor think of their seduction. These are types of fornication which every chaste and sensible man would resist.
