901. The Answerability of the Hearing, THE SIGHT AND THE HEART

2870.كتاب من لا يحضره الفقيه : قالَ رجلٌ للصّادِقِ عليه السلام : إنّ لي جِيراناً ولَهُم جَوارٍ يَتَغَنَّينَ ويَضرِبن بالعُودِ ، فرُبّما دَخَلتُ المَخرَجَ فَاُطِيلُ الجُلُوسَ استِماعاً مِنّي لَهُنَّ؟... فقالَ لَهُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : تاللَّهِ أنتَ ! أما سَمِعتَ اللَّهَ عزّوجلّ يقولُ : (إنَّ السَّمْعَ والبَصَرَ والفُؤادَ كُلُّ اُولئكَ كانَ عنه مَسْؤولاً)؟!¹

2870. It has been narrated in Man La Yahduruhu al-Faqih that a man once came to Imam al-Sadiq (AS) saying, 'I have a neighbour whose slave girls sing and play the lute, and sometimes when I go to the outhouse I take my time there so I may listen to them...? So Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said to him, 'By Allah! Have you not heard the verse of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, [in the Qur'an], "Verily the hearing and the sight and the heart, each of those shall be answerable for it"?! ²
