On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) had said:
A man's share of adultery is destined by Allah. He will never escape such destiny. The adultery of the eye is the look, the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (talk), the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech, the adultery of the hand is beating others harshly, and the adultery of the feet is to walk to the place where he intends to commit sins. The heart yearns and desires (for such vicious deeds). The loins may or may not put (such vicious deeds) into effect.

(Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
