Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God's Prophet (a.s) used to greet women and return their greetings. Ameer al-Momineen used to greet women and return their greetings, but did not like to greet young women and said that he was afraid that hearing their voices might cause him to go into a state of mind which brings him more loss than the reward he expected to get from greeting them.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
كان رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يسلم على النساء ويرددن عليه، وكان أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) يسلم على النساء ويرددن عليه، وكان يكره أن يسلم على الشابة منهن، ويقول: أتخوف أن يعجبني صوتها فيدخل علي أكثر مما أطلب من الأجر.
