ʿAbdullah (bin Masʿud) said, "None has more sense of ghaira than Allah therefore - He prohibits shameful sins (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly. And none loves to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason He praises Himself." I asked Abu Wali, "Did you hear it from ʿAbdullah?" He said, "Yes," I said, "Did ʿAbdullah ascribe it to Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "Yes."

لاَ أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلاَ شَىْءَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ قُلْتُ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَرَفَعَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ

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

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

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

Saʿd bin 'Ubada said, "If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him (behead him) with the blade of my sword." This news reached Messenger of Allah ﷺ who then said, "You people are astonished at Saʿd's Ghira. By Allah, I have more Ghira than he, and Allah has more Ghira than I, and because of Allah's Ghira, He has made unlawful Shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) done in open and in secret. And there is none who likes that the people should repent to Him and beg His pardon than Allah, and for this reason He sent the warners and the givers of good news. And there is none who likes to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason, Allah promised to grant Paradise (to the doers of good)." ʿAbdul Malik said, "No person has more Ghira than Allah."

سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً مَعَ امْرَأَتِي لَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ غَيْرَ مُصْفَحٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ تَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ غَيْرَةِ سَعْدٍ وَاللَّهِ لأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ وَاللَّهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ غَيْرَةِ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلاَ أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ الْمُبَشِّرِينَ وَالْمُنْذِرِينَ وَلاَ أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمِدْحَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ لاَ شَخْصَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ

If I were to see a man with my wife, I would have struck him with the sword, and not with the flat part (side) of it. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard of that, he said: Are you surprised at Sa'd's jealousy of his honour? By Allah, I am more jealous of my honour than he, and Allah is more jealous than I. Because of His jealousy Allah has prohibited abomination, both open and secret And no person is more jealous of his honour than Allah, and no persons, is more fond of accepting an excuse than Allah, on account of which He has sent messengers, announcers of glad tidings and warners; and no one is more fond of praise than Allah on account of which Allah has promised Paradise.

سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً مَعَ امْرَأَتِي لَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ غَيْرَ مُصْفِحٍ عَنْهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ غَيْرَةِ سَعْدٍ فَوَاللَّهِ لأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ وَاللَّهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ غَيْرَةِ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلاَ شَخْصَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ وَلاَ شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمِدْحَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ

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 is more self-respectidg than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts-both visible and invisible-and none loves His praise more than Allah Himself.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ

None is more self-respecting than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts-both visible and invisible and nothing is loved by Allah more than the praise of His Ownself and it is because of this that He has praised Himself.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لاَ أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ

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

“I heard Abu Wa’il say: ‘ʿAbdullah bin Masʿud said’ and I said to him: ‘Did you hear it from ʿAbdullah?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ And he narrated it in Marfuʿ form that he said: ‘There is none with more Ghirah than Allah, and due to this He prohibited the lewd sins, that which is apparent of them and that which is hidden. And there is none to whom praise is more beloved than Allah, and due to this, He praised Himself.’”

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لاَ أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلاَ أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

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»

[AI] 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»

None is more self-respectidg than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts-both visible and invisible-and none loves His praise more than Allah Himself. (Using translation from Muslim 2760b)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ فَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ

None is more self-respectidg than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts-both visible and invisible-and none loves His praise more than Allah Himself. (Using translation from Muslim 2760b)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ وَمَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ

[AI] I heard Abdullah say, "Did you hear it from Abdullah?" I replied, "Yes, he told me himself." Abdullah said, "No one is more capable than Allah Almighty, and for this reason, He has prohibited indecent acts, both those that are openly committed and those that are concealed. And no one loves praise more than Allah Almighty, so He has praised Himself."

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَقَدْ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ لَا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ وَلِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ

Saʿd bin Ubada said, "If I found a man with my wife, I would kill him with the sharp side of my sword." When the Prophet ﷺ heard that he said, "Do you wonder at Saʿd's sense of ghira (self-respect)? Verily, I have more sense of ghira than Saʿd, and Allah has more sense of ghira than I." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6846)

سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِي لَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ غَيْرَ مُصْفَحٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ غَيْرَةِ سَعْدٍ فَوَاللهِ لَأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ وَاللهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ غَيْرَةِ اللهِ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَابَطَنَ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللهِ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ اللهُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِدْحَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَعَدَ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ

[AI] "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»

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَلِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ»

If I were to see a man with my wife, I would have struck him with the sword, and not with the flat part (side) of it.

(Using translation from Muslim 1499a)

سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِي لَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ غَيْرَ مُصْفِحٍ عَنْهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ غَيْرَةِ سَعْدٍ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ وَاللَّهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ غَيْرَةِ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ وَلَا شَخَصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ»

[AI] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "No one is more jealous than Allah, because He has forbidden indecencies. And no one loves praise more than Allah, because He has praised Himself. And no one loves excuses more than Allah, because He accepts excuses from His creation. And no one loves praise more than Allah, because He praises Himself."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ؛ وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ وَمَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمِدْحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ؛ وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ وَلَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللهِ؛ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ اعْتَذَرَ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ وَلَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْحَمْدُ مِنَ اللهِ؛ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَمِدَ نَفْسَهُ»

ʿAbdullah (bin Masʿud) said, "None has more sense of ghaira than Allah therefore - He prohibits shameful sins (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly. And none loves to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason He praises Himself." I asked Abu Wali, "Did you hear it from ʿAbdullah?" He said, "Yes," I said, "Did ʿAbdullah ascribe it to Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "Yes." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4634)

«مَا أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللهِ؛ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهْرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ»

[AI] Sa'ad bin Ubadah said, "If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him with a sword." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of that and he said, "Are you amazed at Sa'ad's jealousy? By Allah, I am more jealous than Sa'ad. And by Allah, Allah is more jealous than me. That is why He has forbidden the immoralities, both apparent and hidden. And there is no excuse more beloved to Him than an excuse sought from Allah. Because of this, He sent His messengers as bearers of glad tidings and warners. And there is no praise more beloved to Him than the praise from Allah. And because of this, He promised Paradise." And the wording is from the hadith of Abu Al-Walid.

سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِي لَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ غَيْرَةِ سَعْدٍ؟ فَوَاللهِ لَأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْ سَعْدٍ وَاللهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهْرَ وَمَا بَطْنَ مِنْهَا وَلَا شَخَصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ رُسُلَهُ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ وَلَا شَخَصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمِدْحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ وَعَدَ الْجَنَّةَ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ

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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4637)

«لَا أَحَدَ يَعْنِي أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللهِ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَمَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ وَلِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ»

None is more self-respectidg than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts-both visible and invisible-and none loves His praise more than Allah Himself. (Using translation from Muslim 2760b)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللهِ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللهِ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْعَلَاءِ

"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".

"لا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ منَ الله، ولذلِكَ حَرَمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ، وَلا أحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِليهِ المدْحُ مِن الله ولَذلكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ، ولا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِليه الْعُذْرُ مِنَ الله، ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلك أَنْزلَ الْكِتَابَ وَأَرْسَلَ الرُّسُلَ".
