رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّ رَجُلاً جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ لِي جِيرَاناً وَ لَهُمْ جَوَارٍ يَتَغَنَّيْنَ وَ يَضْرِبْنَ بِالْعُودِ فَرُبَّمَا دَخَلْتُ اَلْمَخْرَجَ فَأُطِيلُ اَلْجُلُوسَ اِسْتِمَاعاً مِنِّي لَهُنَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« لاَ تَفْعَلْ» فَقَالَ وَاَللَّهِ مَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ آتِيهِ بِرِجْلِي إِنَّمَا هُوَ سَمَاعٌ أَسْمَعُهُ بِأُذُنِي فَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« تَا للَّهِ أَنْتَ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ اَللَّهَ يَقُولُ« إِنَّ اَلسَّمْعَ وَ اَلْبَصَرَ وَ اَلْفُؤٰادَ كُلُّ أُولٰئِكَ كٰانَ عَنْهُ مَسْؤُلاً»» فَقَالَ اَلرَّجُلُ كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْ بِهَذِهِ اَلْآيَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ مِنْ عَرَبِيٍّ وَلاَ عَجَمِيٍّ لاَ جَرَمَ أَنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا وَأَنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« قُمْ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَصَلِّ مَا بَدَا لَكَ فَلَقَدْ كُنْتَ مُقِيماً عَلَى أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ مَا كَانَ أَسْوَأَ حَالَكَ لَوْ مِتَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اِسْتَغْفِرِ اَللَّهَ وَاِسْأَلْهُ اَلتَّوْبَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يَكْرَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَكْرَهُ إِلاَّ اَلْقَبِيحَ وَ اَلْقَبِيحَ دَعْهُ لِأَهْلِهِ فَإِنَّ لِكُلٍّ أَهْلاً».
It is narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s) that a man came to Imam (a.s) and said: "I have neighbors who have slave girls that sing and play the lute. Sometimes I go to the restroom and sit for a long time, listening to them." Imam (a.s) replied: "Do not do that." The man said: "By Allah (swt), I do not go to them with my feet; it is only listening that I do with my ears." Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "By Allah (swt), have you not heard Allah’s (swt) words: 'Indeed, the hearing, the sight, and the heart - all those will be questioned about' (Quran 17:36)?" The man said: "It is as if I have never heard this verse from Allah’s (swt) Book, neither from an Arab nor a non-Arab. Truly, I will leave this act, and I seek forgiveness from Allah (swt), the Exalted." Al-Sadiq (a.s) then said: "Go, perform ghusl, and pray as much as you wish, for indeed you were persisting in a grave matter. How bad your state would have been if you had died in that condition! Seek Allah’s (swt) forgiveness and ask Him (swt) for repentance from everything He (swt) dislikes, for He (swt) dislikes only what is evil. Leave what is evil to its people, for every matter has its people."
