49 By treacherous is meant to look at ladies, which are unlawful for man. There is a punishment for this as well because an evil eye sows the seed of lust in the heart. It is stated in the Hadith Shareef any gaze which falls unintentionally, is forgiven, but if it were intentional, it would be punishable. The Holy Prophet is " The first gaze is forgiven.
50 This tells us that for some concealed things of the heart, there would be reckoned and punishment, eg evil beliefs, and evil intentions.
However, there is no punishment for unintentional evil intentions. Says Almighty Allah “Allah places not burden on any soul but to the extent of his strength"(S2 V280).
