1168. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Allāh becomes jealous and the believer becomes jealous. Allāh's jealousy occurs when a believer does what He has made unlawful for him." (Sahīh)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from 'Aīshah and 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Gharīb Hadīth.
This Hadīth has been reported from Yahya bin Abī Kathīr, from Abū Salamah, from 'Urwah, from Asmā' bint Abī Bakr, from the Prophet ﷺ. Both of these Aḥādīth are Sahīh.
(Regarding the narrators) Al-Hajjāj Aš-Šawwāf is Al-Hajjāj bin Abī 'Uthmān, and Abū 'Uthmān's name is Maisarah. Al-Hajjāj's Kunyah is Abū Aš-Šalt, and Yahyā bin Sa'eed Al-Qaṭṭān said he was trustworthy. Abū 'Eisā narrated to us: "Abū Bakr Al-'Aṭṭār narrated to us from 'Alī bin 'Abdullāh (Al-Madīnī) who said: 'I asked Yahyā bin Sa'eed Al-Qaṭṭān about Hajjāj Aš-Šawwāf and he said: "He is (trustworthy) intelligent, (and) clever."

Commentary
In this narration jealousy means to be angry with an offensive action. It is obvious that this meaning is in reference to the creation of Allāh, and Allāh's jealousy is according to His Own splendor and dignity.
