Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed that Sayyiduna Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“If I see a man with my wife, I will strike him with the sword and never spare him.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Are you amazed at Sa’d’s sense of honor? I am more possessive than him, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is more possessive than me. It is due to His sense of honor that He has forbidden indecency, both open and hidden. And there is no one more possessive than Allah. And there is no one who loves to accept excuses more than Allah, so He sent the Prophets as bearers of glad tidings and as warners (so that the servants may present their excuses and repent before punishment). And there is no one who loves to be praised more than Allah, so Allah has promised Paradise (so that the servants may worship and praise Him and thus attain Paradise).”
