۞
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.”
عن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
لا تقتل الغيرة بالإسلام إلا بكفر بعد إيمان، أو زنا بعد إحصان، أو قتل النفس الحرام، أو من ذب رجل عن حريمه، فإن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) قال: من دخل دار قوم ليلا فقتلوه فدمه هدر، أو اطلع ففقؤوا عينه، قال: كان النبي يغار.
