Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, Allah Almighty is possessive, and the believer is also possessive." Allah Almighty's possessiveness is that a believer commits something which Allah Almighty has declared unlawful."
