Hadith on Eyes: Guarding, weeping, and lowering gaze

Mu’awiyah ibn Jaydah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Three eyes will never see the Hellfire, an eye standing guard in the way of Allah, an eye weeping from the fear of Allah, and an eye lowering its gaze from what Allah has forbidden.

عَنْ معاويةَ بنِ حَيْدَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تَرَى أَعْيُنُهُمُ النَّارَ عَيْنٌ حَرَسَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَعَيْنٌ بَكَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللهِ وَعَيْنٌ غَضَّتْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ
