The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is none having a greater sense of Ghira than Allah, and for that reason He has forbidden shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) And there is none who likes to be praised more than Allah does." (See Hadith No. 147, Vol. 7)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ وَمَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ

The Prophet, said, "There is none having a greater sense of Ghira than Allah. And for that He has forbidden the doing of evil actions (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) There is none who likes to be praised more than Allah does."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ وَمَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ

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.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ

None loves one's own praise more than Allah, the Exalted and Glurious, does. It is because of this that He has praised Himself, and none is more self-respecting than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts and there is none who is more anxious to accept the apologies of the people than Allah Himself and it is because of this that He has revealed the Book and sent the Messengers.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ﷻ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَنْزَلَ الْكِتَابَ وَأَرْسَلَ الرُّسُلَ

[Machine] "If I had caught him, I would have struck him with a sword, and I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said, 'I am more forbearing than Sa'd, and by Allah, none loves being pardoned more than Allah, for which He sent the messengers, and none loves praise more than Allah, for which He promised Paradise.'"

لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُهُ لَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْ سَعْدٍ وَاللَّهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي وَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَمَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَعَدَ الْجَنَّةَ»

"أتعجبون من غَيْرَةِ سعد؟ واللهِ لأنا أغيرُ منه، والله أغيرُ منَّي، ومِنْ أجلِ غيرةِ اللهِ حرَّمَ الفواحشَ ما ظهرَ منْها وما بطنَ، ولا أحد أحب إليه العذرُ من اللهِ، ومن أجلِ ذلك بعث المرسلين مبشرين ومنذرين، ولا أحد أحبّ إليه المدحةُ من الله، ومن أجل ذلك وعد الجنَّةَ".
