There is no known with this wording or meaning, and we do not know of any origin for it from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor from any of his Companions. It has been mentioned in some books of admonition as a statement attributed to God to David, peace be upon him, warning him against looking at what is unlawful for him, and threatening punishment and deprivation from seeing God for those who do so. However, it is an unverified statement whose narrator and source are unknown.
