حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ - عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الْمُؤْمِنُ يَغَارُ وَاللَّهُ أَشَدُّ غَيْرًا " .

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him ) as saying:
A believer is self-respecting and Allah is extremely self-respecting.
