1158. Jābir (bin ‘Abdullāh) narrated: “The Prophet ﷺ saw a woman, then he went to Zainab to fulfill his need and he left. He said: ‘Indeed when the woman enters, she enters in the image of Shaitān. So when one of you sees a woman that he is fascinated with, then let him go to his wife, for indeed with her (his wife) is the same as that which is with her.’” (Sahīh)

Commentary
In this narration the sexual urge of a human being has been discussed. There is an attraction in a female for the male and it is natural. This natural attraction is also a test for human beings. Satan attacks the man in various ways and in different forms. Man's natural attraction towards woman supports Satan to deviate him from the right path, and for this very reason the orders of lowering the gaze and covering are given.
