We were unable to allocate the narration in reference. However, there are many great rewards in lowering the gaze. Consider the following narrations:
الدرالمنثور – (ج 5 / ص 72)
وأخرجأبوالقاسمالبغويفيمعجمهوالطبرانيعنأبيأمامةسمعترسولاللهصلىاللهعليهوسلميقول « اكفلواليبستأكفللكمبالجنة . إذاحدثأحدكمفلايكذب،وإذاائتمنفلايخن،وإذاوعدفلايخلف،غضواأبصاركم،وكفواأيديكم،واحفظوافروجكم » .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah رضياللهتعالىعنهnarrates that Nabiصلىاللهعليووسلمmentioned:
“Guarantee me six things, I will guarantee you paradise: when you speak, do not lie. When you are entrusted, do not deceive. When you promise, do not go against it. Keep your gaze lowered (from that which is forbidden). Do not cause harm by means of your hands. Safeguard your private organs”. (ad-Dur al-Manthoor 5/72)
وأخرجأحمدوالحكيمفينوادرالأصولوالطبرانيوابنمردويهوالبيهقيفيشعبالإِيمانعنأبيأمامةعنالنبيصلىاللهعليهوسلمقال : « مامنمسلمينظرإلىامرأةأولرمقةثميغضبصرهإلاأحدثاللهلهعبادةيجدحلاوتهافيقلبه » .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah رضياللهتعالىعنهnarrates that Nabiصلىاللهعليووسلمmentioned:
“No Muslim sees a woman and thereafter lowers his gaze except that Allah Ta’ala will inspire him with such worship whereby he will experience its sweetness in his heart”. (ad-Dur al-Manthoor 5/72)
وأخرجالحاكموصححهعنحذيفةقال : قالرسولاللهصلىاللهعليهوسلم « النظرةسهممنسهامإبليسمسمومة،فمنتركهامنخوفاللهأثابهإِيماناًيجدحلاوتهفيقلبه » .
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah رضياللهتعالىعنهnarrates that Nabiصلىاللهعليووسلمmentioned:
“Unlawful glances are poisonous spears from the spears of Iblees. Whoever leaves it due to the fear of Allah Ta’ala, Allah Ta’ala will reward him with the sweetness of Iman” (ad-Dur al-Manthoor 5/72)
وأخرجابنأبيالدنياوالديلميعنأبيهريرةقال : قالرسولاللهصلىاللهعليهوسلم « كلعينباكيةيومالقيامة،إلاعيناًغضتعنمحارمالله،وعيناًسهرتفيسبيلالله،وعيناًخرجمنهامثلرأسالذبابمنخشيةالله » .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رضياللهتعالىعنهnarrates that Nabiصلىاللهعليووسلمmentioned:
“Every eye will be crying on the Day of Judgment except that eye which was lowered away from the forbidden things of Allah Ta’ala, and an eye which stood awake in the part of Allah Ta’ala, and an eye which had tear in the fear of Allah Ta’ala”. (ad-Dur al-Manthoor 5/72)
And Allah knows best
