English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Mu'awiya, from al-A'mash, from Shaqiq — that 'Abdullah said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No one has more ghayra [protective jealousy and honor] than Allah (عز وجل) — and for this reason He has forbidden all indecencies, both outward and inward. And no one loves praise more than Allah (عز وجل).'
