49. The Book of Repentance
٤٩۔ كتاب التوبة
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None has more sense of ghaira than Allah, and for this He has forbidden shameful sins whether committed openly or secretly, and none loves to be praised more than Allah does, and this is why He Praises Himself."
لاَ أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلاَ أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمِدْحَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَلِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ
Prohibitions of Allah are of most importance to Him
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has ghayrah (protective jealousy), and the ghayrah of Allah is ˹provoked˺ when a believer does something that Allah has prohibited."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغَارُ وَغَيْرَةُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ۔»
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There is nothing (none) having a greater sense of Ghira (self-respect) than Allah." And narrated Abu Huraira that he heard the Prophet (saying the same).
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ شَىْءَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ
