YaAAlamu khainata alaAAyuni wama tukhfee alssudooruTafsir of Verse 19
He knows the treachery of the eyes and what the breasts conceal.
(Allah) knows of (the tricks) that deceive with the eyes, and all that the hearts (of men) conceal.
In verse 19, it was said: يَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ (He knows the treachery of the eyes), in other words, eyes that betray the trust. It means the action of a person who would, secretly and surreptitiously, cast a glance over something haram and impermissible for him or her, for example, casts a glance at a non-mahram person with sexual desire, and takes it away in the event someone was around, or casts a glance in a manner that is not noticed by others. All these things are open before Allah Ta’ ala.
