[Machine] Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I attended the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man came to him saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, I found a man with my wife and I struck him with a sword.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What evidence is clearer than the sword?' Then he returned and said, 'This is the book of our Lord.' Sa'd bin 'Ubadah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what evidence is clearer than the sword?' He said, 'The book of Allah and a witness is also present.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Ansar, this is your leader, he has been incited by jealousy to go against the book of Allah.' A man from the Ansar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Sa'd is a jealous man. He has never married a chaste woman except for his jealousy, and none of us could ever divorce a woman based on jealousy.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Sa'd is jealous, and I am more jealous than him. By Allah, I am more jealous than him.' A man from the Ansar said, 'What does Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, become jealous about?' He said, 'He becomes jealous when a fighter in the cause of Allah goes back to his family.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ attended Saad bin Ubadah and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I find another man on my wife's stomach, should I strike him with my sword?" He said, "What evidence do you have that is clearer than the sword?" He said. Then he returned from his statement and said, "The Book of Allah and the martyrs." Saad said, "O Messenger of Allah, what evidence is clearer than the sword?" He said, "The Book of Allah and the martyrs." O Ansar, this is your leader. Jealousy has provoked him until he has gone against the Book of Allah." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed Saad is jealous and he never divorces a woman because one of us would marry her due to his jealousy." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Saad is jealous, and I am more jealous than him, and Allah is even more jealous than me." A man said, "What does Allah become jealous over?" He said, "Allah becomes jealous over a man who fights in the cause of Allah and then returns to his family."
