Sahih Muslim 2658a (Book 46, Hadith 33) #13828
The Predetermined Portion of Adultery

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that Allah has predetermined the amount of adultery a person will commit, and it also lists the various ways in which a person can commit adultery.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying. Allah fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in. There would be no escape from it. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ كُتِبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ نَصِيبُهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى مُدْرِكٌ ذَلِكَ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنَانِ زِنَاهُمَا النَّظَرُ وَالأُذُنَانِ زِنَاهُمَا الاِسْتِمَاعُ وَاللِّسَانُ زِنَاهُ الْكَلاَمُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاهَا الْبَطْشُ وَالرِّجْلُ زِنَاهَا الْخُطَا وَالْقَلْبُ يَهْوَى وَيَتَمَنَّى وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that Allah has predetermined the amount of adultery a person will commit, and it also lists the various ways in which a person can commit adultery. It is important to note that even though Allah has predetermined this portion, it does not mean that one should indulge in any form of adultery as all forms are considered sinful. The hadith mentions six different types of adulterous behavior; lustful look, listening to voluptuous songs or talk, licentious speech, lustful grip or embrace, walking to places with intent to commit adultery and having desires in one's heart but not necessarily acting on them. All these behaviors are considered sinful according to Islamic teachings as they lead people away from righteousness and piety. Therefore Muslims should strive to avoid such behaviors at all costs as they can lead one astray from their faith.
