حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللهِ وَلِذلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ، مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا، وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا شَيْءَ أحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللهِ ⦗٢٤٣⦘ وَلِذلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ.
Abû Wâ'il Narrated from:
'Abdullâh (bin Mas'ûd) said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None has more sense of Ghîra (honour, self-respect etc.) than Allâh, therefore He has prohibited shameful sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) whether committed openly or secretly. And none loves to be praised more than Allâh does, and for this reason He praises Himself." [I asked Abû Wâ'il, "Did you hear it from Abdullâh?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Did 'Abdullâh ascribe it to Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم?" He said, "Yes."] Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 158, Vol. 6)
