Celebrate ‘Eīd by Lowering The Gaze
Some of the companions of Sufyān ath-Thawrī said: “We went out with ath-Thawrī on the day of ‘Eīd and he said: ‘Verily, the first thing we will begin our day with is lowering the gaze.”
● [التبصرة لابن الجوزي ص ٦١]
Ḥasān Ibn Abī Sinān went out for the ‘Eīd and when he returned his wife said to him:
“How many beautiful women did you see today?”
And when she persisted he replied: “I did not look at anything except my thumb from the time I went out until I returned to you!
