“The fire is forbidden to the eye which weeps from the fear of Allah, stays awake in the path of Allah (Jihad) and I forgot the third, but afterwards I heard that he said ‘the eye which lowered it gaze from that which Allah has forbidden to see.”

Abu Rayhaana said: We went on an expedition with Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and I heard him say:

حرمت النار على عين دمعت من خشية الله، حرمت النار على عين سهرت في سبيل الله »
.« ونسيت الثالثة وسمعت بعد أنه قال حرمت النار على عين غضت عن محارم الله

“The fire is forbidden to the eye which weeps from the fear of Allah, stays awake in the path of Allah (Jihad) and I forgot the third, but afterwards I heard that he said ‘the eye which lowered it gaze from that which Allah has forbidden to see.”

Reported by Ahmad and al-Haakim. The latter declared the hadith as sound and az-Zahabi and an-Nasaa`i agreed with him on this. The narration here is that of a-Nasaa`i.
