"I (Allah) Become Their Faculty Of Sight..."
Uthman ibn Affan (Radiallahu anhu), the third Caliph of Rasulullah (Salla'llahu'alaihi wa sallam), once said to a person who came into his presence. "Go and perform ghusl (full ablution) before you come here again. Do not sit next to me in a state of major ritual impurity!" The man protested, "But I am not in that state, Commander of the Faithful!" "How can you say that?" said Hazrath Uthman (Radiallahu anhu) "On your way here, did you not look at a woman and commit adultery with your eyes?" The man blushed with shame. "Yes," he confessed, "I did gaze with lust at a woman who is not my wife." He then went and performed a complete ablution, after which he was accepted in the Caliph's presence.
Those who are close to Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He) have insight like Hazrath Uthman (Radiallahu anhu). In a Sacred Tradition (Hadith Qudsi), Allah, the Knower of the Unseen tells us: "Through the supererogatory acts of worship My servant performs for Me, I draw so close to him that he sees through Me and hears through Me."
Yaa uthman Radi Allahu anhu
