Sahih Bukhari Book: 65, Hadith: 4679

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ ‏ “‏ لاَ أَحَدَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ، وَلاَ شَىْءَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحُ مِنَ اللَّهِ، لِذَلِكَ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ ‏”‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَرَفَعَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ Narrated Abu Wail: `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) said, “None has more sense of ghaira than Allah therefore – He prohibits shameful sins (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly. And none loves to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason He praises Himself.” I asked Abu Wali, “Did you hear it from `Abdullah?” He said, “Yes,” I said, “Did `Abdullah ascribe it to Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “Yes.” Chain : Hafs bin ‘Umar bin al-Harith – Shu’bah bin al-Hajja...
