your parents, or your relatives…” (4:135)

“To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth.* And if you
expose or conceal that is with you (in your breasts), Allah will have
its account from you. He may then forgive whom He wills, and may
punish whom He wills.** And Allah is All Powerful on every thing.”
*(See also 5:40) ** (See also 3:29,129)

Allah has forgiven (the people of) my Ummah in respect of their
thoughts in breasts, provided that they don’t act act upon it nor talk
about it.” (Bukhari:2391) (See also Bukhari:6287)
