Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنْ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنْ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Abu Mu’awiyah told us: al-A’mash told us, from Shaqiq, from Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "No one is more jealous than Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and for that He has forbidden shameful acts, whatever is apparent of them and whatever is hidden; and no one loves praise more than Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
