Messenger of Allah, if I were to find with my wife a man, should I not touch him before bringing four witnesses? Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Yes. He said: By no means. By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I would hasten with my sword to him before that. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Listen to what your chief says. He is jealous of his honour, I am more jealous than he (is) and God is more jealous than I.  

مسلم:١٤٩٨cحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُهَيْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ

سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ وَجَدْتُ مَعَ أَهْلِي رَجُلاً لَمْ أَمَسَّهُ حَتَّى آتِيَ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَلاَّ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأُعَاجِلُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْمَعُوا إِلَى مَا يَقُولُ سَيِّدُكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَغَيُورٌ وَأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ وَاللَّهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Yes, he said: No, by the One who sent you with the truth, if I were to hasten it with a sword." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Listen to what your master says. Indeed, he is jealous, and I am more jealous than him. And Allah is more jealous than me."  

البيهقي:٢٠٥٢٢وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أنبأ مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ ثنا سُهَيْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لَوْ وَجَدْتُ مَعَ امْرَأَتِي رَجُلًا لَمْ أَمَسَّهُ حَتَّى آتِيَ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ؟

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَلَّا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأُعْجِلُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُ سَيِّدُكُمْ؟ إِنَّهُ غَيُورٌ وَأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ وَاللهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي
