English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن مسعود
`Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) said, "None has more sense of ghaira than Allah therefore - He prohibits shameful sins (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly. And none loves to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason He praises Himself." I asked Abu Wali, "Did you hear it from `Abdullah?" He said, "Yes," I said, "Did `Abdullah ascribe it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said, "Yes."

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : "
لَا أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ، وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ ، وَلَا شَيْءَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ، وَلِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ
" ، قُلْتُ : سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قُلْتُ : وَرَفَعَهُ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
