اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ: "مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّه، وَمِنْهَا مَا يُبْغِضُ اللَّهُ: فَالْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللَّه: الْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرِّيبَةِ، وَالْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُبْغِضُ اللَّه، الْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ رِيبَةٍ".
Ibn Jabir bin Atiq said: My father narrated to me a hadith that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is a kind of jealousy that Allah likes and a kind of jealousy that Allah dislikes. The jealousy that Allah likes is when a person is jealous in a situation of doubt (for example, if someone jokes or laughs with his wife in seclusion, he feels jealous), and the jealousy that Allah dislikes is when a person is jealous without any doubt (or evidence), without any reason (for example, if someone leaves his house and he, without investigation, kills him out of jealousy)."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2262)
To be protective (showing ghayrah) in situations where there is a possibility of accusation, that is, where there is a fear of disgrace—such as sitting in a tavern, or being alone with a non-mahram woman—when a person exercises protective jealousy (ghayrah), he will avoid sins. If he abandons this sense of honor (ghayrah), then whatever he does or whatever happens, he will not care.
