The Warning Not to Commit What Allah and His Messenger Have Prohibited

846. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah the Almighty is jealous, and the jealousy of Allah expresses itself in respect of a man coming to something Allah has forbidden him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Nikah, 107; Sahih Muslim, Tawbah, 36).
Annotation: Allah never consents to His servants’ committing evil. Transgression against His commandments goes against what Allah likes.
