حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَقَدْ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ لَا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنْ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنْ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4153
It was narrated that 'Amr bin Murrah said: I heard Abu Wa'il say: I heard 'Abdullah say - I said: Did you hear it from 'Abdullah? He said: Yes, and he attributed it (to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) "No one has more protective jealousy ( gheerah ) than Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. Hence He forbade immoral actions, both open and hidden. And none loves to be praised more than Allah, may He be glorified and exalted; for that reason He praised Himself."
