" عَنْ عَلىٍّ قَالَ: مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فِى طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقَاتِ المَدِينَة فَنَظَرَ إِلَى امْرَاة وَنَظَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ أَنَهُ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ أَحَدُهُمَا إِلَى الآخَرِ إِلَّا إِعْجَابًا بِهِ، فَبَيْنَا الرجلُ يَمْشِى إِلَى جَنْبِ حَائِط وَهُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا إِذِ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ الحَائطُ فشَق أنفَهُ فَقَالَ: وَالله! لاَ اغْسِلُ الذَمَ حَتَّى آتِى رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فَأعْلِمَهُ أَمْرِى، فَأَتَاهُ فَقَص عَلَيْه قِصَتَهُ، فَقَالَ النبِيّ ﷺ: هَذَا عُقُوبَةُ ذَنْبِكَ، وَأَنْزَلَ الله: {قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ} الآية".

"From Ali, who said: A man passed by during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of the roads of Madinah. He looked at a woman and she looked at him, and Satan whispered to them both that neither of them looked at the other except with admiration for them. While the man was walking beside a wall, looking at her, the wall met him and split his nose. He said: 'By Allah! I will not wash off the blood until I come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and inform him of my matter.' He came to him and recounted his story. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'This is the punishment for your sin.' And Allah revealed: {Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze} the verse."
