حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يَكْرَهُ اللَّهُ ، فَأَمَّا مَا يُحِبُّ ، فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرِّيبَةِ ، وَأَمَّا مَا يَكْرَهُ ، فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ رِيبَةٍ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that:` the Messenger of Allah said: "There is a kind of protective jealousy that Allah loves and a kind that Allah hates. As for that which Allah loves, it is protective jealousy when there are grounds for suspicion. And as for that which He hates, it is protective jealousy when there are no grounds for suspicion."
Brief Explanation
1؎: This is such a time that, may Allah protect us, wicked people falsely accuse a virtuous woman so that her husband, overcome by jealousy, might do something drastic, her home is destroyed, and the envious find joy in this. This is a time that requires great patience and steadfastness; a person should act thoughtfully and with understanding, and should never act hastily. Testimony should be taken according to the Shariah; if such truthful and righteous witnesses are not found, then one should understand that this is the deception of the envious and enemies who wanted to destroy his home. May Allah the Exalted protect from the evil of the envious and the enemies. Even the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was not spared from being harmed; a false accusation was made against Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha (radi Allahu anha), a storm was raised, but Allah the Exalted refuted them and revealed the innocence of Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha (radi Allahu anha) before them, the recitation of which will continue until the Day of Judgment.
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Just as a believer himself is pure, in the same way, it is naturally his desire that his wife also be chaste. Therefore, it is commendable to keep an eye on the conditions of one's household so that no person of bad character gets the opportunity to try to mislead one's wife, daughter, or sister.
➋ If a woman's conduct appears suspicious, she should be appropriately admonished so that she refrains from taking further steps on that path.
➌ One should not harbor suspicion against one's chaste wife merely by listening to the irresponsible and frivolous talk of immoral people. It is possible that, out of jealousy or enmity, they wish to ruin a person's home. However, if truthful and righteous people inform that a woman is behaving with undue familiarity with a non-mahram man, then, for the protection of one's home and honor, it is necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures.
