The answer

It is narrated in the Sahihayn and other collections, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has ghira (protective jealousy), and the believer has ghira, and the ghira of Allah is that the believer approaches what He has forbidden for him." And in the authentic Hadith: "Are you astonished by Sa'd's ghira? I have more ghira than him, and Allah has more ghira than me."
