Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I found a man with my wife, I would strike him with the sword without pardon. This was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so he said: Are you amazed at Sa’d’s sense of honor? By Allah, I am more possessive than him, and Allah is more possessive than me. And because of His sense of honor, Allah has forbidden open and hidden indecencies. And there is nothing more beloved to anyone than presenting an excuse as it is to Allah; for this reason, He sent messengers as bearers of glad tidings and as warners. And there is no one for whom praise is more beloved than it is to Allah; for this reason, Allah has promised Paradise (for those who praise Him).
