مَسؤولِيَّةُ السَّمعِ وَالبَصَرِ وَالفُؤادِ The Answerability of the Hearing, the Sight and the Heart

4ـ كتاب من‏لا يحضره الفقيه: قالَ رجلٌ للصّادِقِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ لي جِيرانا ولَهُم جَوارٍ يَتَغَنَّينَ ويَضرِبن بالعُودِ ، فرُبّما دَخَلتُ المَخرَجَ فَاُطِيلُ الجُلُوسَ استِماعا مِنّي لَهُنَّ؟... فقالَ لَهُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): تاللّه‏ِ أنتَ ! أما سَمِعتَ اللّه‏َ عزّوجلّ يقولُ: «إنَّ السَّمْعَ والبَصَرَ والفُؤادَ كُلُّ اُولئكَ كانَ عنه مَسْؤولاً»؟!


4– It has been narrated in Man La Yahzuruhu 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"?![ al-Faqih, v. 1, p. 80, no. 177]
