Nothing is more loveable to Allah than His praise as He has praised Himself and no one is more self-respecting than Allah Himself and it As because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts. (Using translation from Muslim 2760a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: From jealousy there is that which Allah loves, and from it there is that which Allah hates. The jealousy that Allah loves is the jealousy regarding suspicion, and the jealousy that Allah hates is the jealousy without any basis for suspicion."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ وَمِنْهَا مَا يُبْغِضُ اللَّهُ فَالْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرِّيبَةِ وَالْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُبْغِضُ اللَّهُ الْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ رِيبَةٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed that Sa'd ibn Ubada said, "If I found a man with her, I would strike her with a sword, not sparing her." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you surprised by Sa'd's jealousy? I am more jealous than Sa'd, and Allah is more jealous than me. That is why He has forbidden the committing of indecent acts, whether openly or in secret. No one is more jealous than Allah, and I am the most beloved to Him when seeking forgiveness. That is why Allah sent prophets as bearers of good news and warners. No one is more beloved to Him than the one who praises Allah, and that is why He has promised Paradise."  

بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ يَقُولُ لَوْ وَجَدْتُ مَعَهَا رَجُلًا لَضَرَبْتُهَا بِالسَّيْفِ غَيْرَ مُصْفَحٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ غَيْرَةِ سَعْدٍ أَنَا أَغَيْرُ مِنْ سَعْدٍ وَاللَّهُ أَغَيْرُ مِنِّي وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَغَيْرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَعَاذِيرِ وَلِذَلِكَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلِذَلِكَ وَعَدَ الْجَنَّةَ»
