English translation
[3764] 17 - (1499) It was narrated that Al-Mughîrah bin Shu'bah said: "Sa'd bin 'Ubâdah said: 'If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him with my sword, and not with the flat side of it.' News of that reached the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: 'Are you surprised at the jealousy of Sa'd? By Allāh, I am more jealous than him, and Allāh is more jealous than me. It is because of His jealousy that Allāh forbade immoral deeds, both open and secret. There is no person who is more jealous than Allāh, and there is no person to whom warnings are more beloved than Allāh. Because of that, Allāh sent the Messengers as bearers of glad tidings and warnings. There is no person to whom praise is more beloved than Allāh. Because of that Allāh made the promise of Paradise.'"
