The answer

The : "For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than to touch a woman he is not lawful to marry" is authentic, narrated by Al-Tabarani and Al-Bayhaqi, and authenticated by Al-Albani. As for the hadith: "For me to fall from the sky to the earth is better for me than to see the thigh of a woman," we are not aware of it being a hadith.
