Eyesight is the root of all evils that man faces. The eyesight produces notion, then the notion produces idea, then the idea produces desire, then the desire produces a volition that gets stronger and becomes a determination, then the act would surly occur as long as there is nothing to prevent it. (Ad-Daa' wa Ad-Dawaa')
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah Has written upon the son of Adam his share from Zina (adultery/fornication), he will inevitably experience it, thus the Zina of the eyes is looking (at what is forbidden), the Zina of the tongue is speaking (with what is forbidden), the self-wishes and desires, and the private parts accepts all that or refuses it. " [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
«إن الله كتب على ابن آدم حظه من الزنا، أدرك ذلك لا محالة، فزنا العين النظر، وزنا اللسان المنطق، والنفس تتمنى وتشتهي، والفرج يصدق ذلك كله أو يكذبه» رواهالبخاري
And Al-Qasimy says in his comment on the saying of Allah almighty: {Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts)} [Surat An-Nur 24:30]
{قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ}سورة النور: 30
Transliteration: Qul lilmumineena yaghuddoo min absarihum wayahfathoo furoojahum
"Lowering the gaze is mentioned before protecting the private parts because gaze is the prelude to adultery and reconnoiterer to profligacy."
