It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that someone asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Do you also feel a sense of honor (ghayrah)?" He replied, "By Allah, I am the one who feels the most honor, and Allah is more honorable than me, and for this reason, He has forbidden indecent acts."
