The meaning of ‘there is no lust’ is that the person who casts eyes on him is dead sure that casting eyes on him will not create lust; otherwise he must not cast eyes if he has even a doubt of lust. Invoking of desire of taking a kiss is also a symptom of lust.’ (Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 602, vol. 9)
Remember! Not only casting eyes on Amrad’s face with lust is a sin, but in spite of keeping eyes down, if the sight goes to an Amrad’s chest or to his arms or legs or even to his clothing and creates a lustful feeling, then even to look at these organs or clothing is a sin and a Ḥarām act leading to Hell.
If the heart longs for casting eyes on Amrad over and over again and the heart doesn’t want to leave that place due to lustful feelings, one should depart immediately; if مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه he looks at him in spite of lust or stays there then he is sinner and deserves Hellfire.
A saint رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was dreamt after his death in such a condition that half of his face was black. When the reason of it was asked, he said, ‘Just as I passed over Hell while going towards heaven, a horrific snake turned up and said while striking severely on my face, ‘You looked at an Amrad with lust on so-and-so day, this is the torment of that sinful sighting. I would’ve tormented more if you had looked (at the Amrad) more.’ (Tażkira-tul-Auliyā, pp. 64, part 1)
