Hadith Commentary:
Ghayrah (protective jealousy) is one of the attributes of Allah.
The Ahl al-Hadith interpret this, as with all other attributes, according to their apparent meaning and do not resort to figurative interpretation (ta'wil). They say that the true reality of this attribute is best known to Allah Himself.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
A believing servant should not challenge Allah’s sense of honor (ghayrah) by committing those things which Allah has forbidden, because if he does so, Allah can immediately destroy and ruin him.
(2)
Some people interpret “ghayrah” (sense of honor) as meaning “anger,” since anger is a necessary consequence of ghayrah. However, according to our inclination, there is no need to interpret it in this way; rather, it should be understood in its real, literal meaning, just as is said regarding other attributes.
