Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29688

Muhammad bin Bashar narrated to us, Muhammad bin Jaafar narrated to us, Shu’bah narrated to us, on the authority of Amr bin Murrah, he said, I heard Abu Wael, he said, I heard Abdullah bin Masoud, he said, “I told him, ‘Did you hear it from Abdullah?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ And he attributed it to the fact that he said, ‘There is no one more jealous than God. And for that reason He forbade immoral acts, whether apparent or concealed, and no one is more beloved to Him than God of praise, and for that reason He praised Himself.” He said this. It is a good and authentic hadith from this perspective.
