Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 3407

تُقْبِلُ فِي صُورَةِ شَيْطَانٍ وَتُدْبِرُ فِي صُورَةِ شَيْطَانٍ فَإِذَا أَبْصَرَ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَةً فَلْيَأْتِ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَرُدُّ مَا فِي نَفْسِهِ

tuqbilu fī ṣūrah shayṭānin watudbiru fī ṣūrah shayṭānin fa-idhā abṣara aḥadukumu āmraʾatan falyaʾti ahlah fa-inna dhalika yaruddu mā fī nafsihi

The full narration

Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw a woman, and so he came to his wife, Zainab, as she was tanning a leather and had sexual intercourse with her. He then went to his Companions and told them:The woman advances and retires in the shape of a devil, so when one of you sees a woman, he should come to his wife, for that will repel what he feels in his heart
