Sunan Abi Dawud 2149 (Book 12, Hadith 104) #22440
The Wrong of Second Glances

SUMMARY: It is wrong to look at something twice, as the first look may be excused but not the second.

Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: The Prophet said: to Ali: Do not give a second look, Ali, (because) while you are not to blame for the first, you have no right to the second.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَزَارِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ الإِيَادِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِعَلِيٍّ ‏ "‏ يَا عَلِيُّ لاَ تُتْبِعِ النَّظْرَةَ النَّظْرَةَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ الأُولَى وَلَيْسَتْ لَكَ الآخِرَةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the wrong of looking at something twice. The Prophet Muhammad was speaking to Ali and warned him not to give a second glance, because while you may be excused for the first one, you have no right to a second one. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful with our glances and not look at something more than once as it can lead us into trouble or sinning. We should also remember that Allah is always watching us and knows what we are doing even if others don't see it. Therefore, we should always strive to do what is right in His eyes and avoid anything that could lead us astray from His path.
