4634. Narrated Abū Wā'il : 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ (The Prophet ﷺ said,) "None has more sense of Ghaīra(1) than Allāh, therefore, He has prohibited shameful sins (illegal sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly. And none loves to be praised more than Allāh does, and for this reason He praises Himself." I asked Abū Wā'il, "Did you hear it from 'Abdullāh?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Did 'Abdullāh ascribe it to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ?" He said, "Yes."
