عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No one is more protective than Allah Almighty, and that is why He has forbidden every kind of evil, both outward and inward. And there is no one to whom praise is more beloved than Allah Almighty.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … When a husband sees a non-mahram man with his wife or daughter, a feeling of jealousy arises in him; this is called "ghayrah" (protective jealousy). In the same way, when a servant commits disobedience, Allah Ta‘ala experiences ghayrah—that He alone is his Creator, Lord, and Owner; it is He who provides him with food, drink, and clothing, yet despite all this, the servant disobeys Him.
