As for those who accuse chaste women of fornication, and then fail to provide four witnesses, strike them eighty times, and reject their testimony ever afterwards: they are the lawbreakers

Those who have been graced with bounty and plenty should not swear that they will [no longer] give to kinsmen, the poor, those who emigrated in God’s way: let them pardon and forgive. Do you not wish that God should forgive you? God is most forgiving and merciful
Sahl al-Tustari

�Let them forgive and excuse�That is, �Let them pardon the wrong done to them by people.� It is related from Sufyān al-Thawrī that he said, �God sent the revelation to ʿUzayr: �If you are not good natured such that you are like a morsel in the mouths of the children of Adam, I will not record you among the humble (mutawāḍiʿūn).� ʿUzayr replied, �O my Lord, what is the hallmark of the one whom You have chosen for Your love (mawadda)?� He replied, �I make him content with a meagre provision, and I activate him to [prepare for] the momentous and tremendous [event]. [His hallmark is also that he] eats little and weeps much; he seeks My forgiveness before dawn, and detests the licentious (fujjār) for My sake.��His words:

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَرۡمُونَ ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَـٰتِ ٱلۡغَـٰفِلَـٰتِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ لُعِنُوا۟ فِی ٱلدُّنۡیَا وَٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِیمࣱ ۝٢٣

[Prophet], tell believing men to lower their glances and guard their private parts: that is purer for them. God is well aware of everything they do
Sahl al-Tustari

Say to the believing men to lower their gaze�That is, avert your gaze from that which God, Exalted is He, has forbidden you. This means to avoid any look that lacks a sense of honour. It is related from ʿUbāda b. Ṣāmit that the Prophet said, �If you can safeguard six things, I will guarantee for you entry into Paradise: be truthful when you speak; fulfil whatever you promise; carry out what has been entrusted to you [to do]; keep your chastity; lower your gaze; and refrain from doing harm to anyone.� It is reported that Ibn ʿUmar y was asked, �Did the Messenger of God ever look around during the prayer?� He answered, �Not even outside the prayer [did he look around].�His words:

And tell believing women that they should lower their glances, guard their private parts, and not display their charms beyond what [it is acceptable] to reveal; they should let their headscarves fall to cover their necklines and not reveal their charms except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their womenfolk, their slaves, such men as attend them who have no sexual desire, or children who are not yet aware of women’s nakedness; they should not stamp their feet so as to draw attention to any hidden charms.

Those who are unable to marry should keep chaste until God gives them enough out of His bounty. If any of your slaves wish to pay for their freedom, make a contract with them accordingly, if you know they have good in them, and give them some of the wealth God has given you. Do not force your slave-girls into prostitution, when they themselves wish to remain honourable, in your quest for the short-term gains of this world, although, if they are forced, God will be forgiving and merciful to them

God is the Light of the heavens and earth. His Light is like this: there is a niche, and in it a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, a glass like a glittering star, fuelled from a blessed olive tree from neither east nor west, whose oil almost gives light even when no fire touches it- light upon light- God guides whoever He will to his Light; God draws such comparisons for people; God has full knowledge of everything
Sahl al-Tustari

God is the light of the heavens and the earth�That is, the One who has adorned the heavens and earth with lights. The likeness of his light means the likeness of the light of Muḥammad . Ḥasan al-Baṣrī said, �He intended by this the heart of the believer and the luminescence (ḍiyāʾ) of professing the divine oneness (tawḥīd), for the hearts of the prophets  are far too brilliant in their light to be described in terms of the likeness of these lights. He said, �The similitude of the light of the Qurʾān is a lamp (miṣbāḥ), a lamp whose candle (sirāj) is gnosis (maʿrifa), whose wick (fatīl) is the religious obligations (farāʾiḍ), whose oil (duhn) is sincerity (ikhlāṣ) and whose light (nūr) is the light of [spiritual] attainment (ittiṣāl). Whenever the sincerity increases in purity, the lamp increases in brightness(ḍiyāʾ); and whenever the religious obligations increase in [inner] realisation (ḥaqīqa), the lamp increases in light (nūr).His words:

men who are not distracted, either by commerce or profit, from remembering God, keeping up the prayer, and paying the prescribed alms, fearing a day when hearts and eyes will turn over

�They fear a day when hearts and eyes will be tossed about,That is, the Day of Resurrection, when hearts and eyes will turn over, in one state after another, and will not remain constantly in one state. The believer is the one who fears that Day. Accordingto a saying related from Ḥasan [al-Baṣrī], someone mentioned in his presence, �There is a man who will leave the Hellfire after a thousand years�, to which Ḥasan responded, �If only I were him.� It was related from ʿAwn b. ʿAbd Allāh that he said, �Luqmān counselled his son, saying: �Have hope in God without feeling secure from His ruse (makr) and fear God without despairing of His mercy.� He responded [by asking], �How can I do that when I only have one heart?� He replied: �O my son, the believer has two hearts, one with which he carries hope in God and the other with which he fears Him.�� And God knows best.His words, Exalted is He:

[The others] solemnly swear by God that if you [Prophet] commanded them, they would march out. Tell them, ‘Do not swear: it is reasonable obedience that is required, and God is aware of everything you do.’

Say, ‘Obey God; obey the Messenger. If you turn away, [know that] he is responsible for the duty placed upon him, and you are responsible for the duty placed upon you. If you obey him, you will be rightly guided, but the Messenger’s duty is only to deliver the message clearly.’

God has made a promise to those among you who believe and do good deeds: He will make them successors to the land, as He did those who came before them; He will empower the religion He has chosen for them; He will grant them security to replace their fear. ‘They will worship Me and not join anything with Me.’ Those who are defiant after that will be the rebels.

Believers, your slaves and any who have not yet reached puberty should ask your permission to come in at three times of day: before the dawn prayer; when you lay your garments aside in the midday heat; and after the evening prayer. These are your three times for privacy; at other times, there is no blame on you or them if you move around each other freely. In this way God makes messages clear: God is all knowing, all wise

The true believers are those who believe in God and His Mes-senger, who, when they are gathered with him on a communal matter, do not depart until they have asked his permission- those who ask your permission [Prophet] are the ones who truly believe in God and His Messenger. When they ask your permission to attend to their private affairs, allow whoever you see fit and ask God to forgive them. God is most forgiving and merciful
