عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى اللّٰه عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلّى اللّٰه عليه وسلّم أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللّٰه يَغَارُ وَغَيْرَةُ اللّٰه أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰه.
Hazrat Abu Hurairahra narrated that the Holy Prophetsa said: “Allah has a sense of protective jealousy (ghayrah), and Allah’s ghayrah is aroused when a believer commits an act that He has prohibited.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab an-nikah, Bab al-ghayrah, Hadith 5223)
