Chapter 6 - On Zeal

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Islamic zeal will not be destroyed except through infidelity after faith, fornication after chastity, killing someone who is forbidden to kill, or not defending your privacy. God's Prophet (a.s) said: “You can kill whoever sneaks into your house at night, and blind whoever peeks into your house from the top of the wall.” He added: “The Prophet is zealous.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There is no blood money required for blinding or injuring anyone who takes a furtive look into a house at women.”

“There is no blood money required for blinding or injuring someone who takes a furtive look.”

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “God's Prophet (a.s) was sitting in his house with his cane leaning on the wall. He noticed someone looking at him. He said: “O' you the one who is looking at me! If you stay where you are I will come and take out your eyes using this cane.” They asked Imam Baqir (a.s): “How did the Prophet realize that someone was looking at him while he was sitting down?” Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “From the gaps inside the wall woven from palm.”
