Possessiveness

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  إنّ الغَيرَةَ مِن الإيمانِ . _{كتاب من لا يحضره الفقيه : 3 / 444 / 4541 .}

 ^{The Prophet (SAWA) said,} 'Verily possessiveness is part of faith.' _{al-Faqih, v. 3, p. 444, no. 4541}

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  إنّ اللَّهَ تعالى‏ يَغارُ وإنّ المؤمنَ يَغارُ ، وغَيرَةُ اللَّهِ أن يَأتِيَ المؤمنُ ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ علَيهِ . _{كنز العمّال : 7072 .}

 ^{The Prophet (SAWA) said,} 'Verily Allah, most High, is possessive, and verily the believer is possessive. Allah's possessiveness over a believer is when he approaches that which Allah has prohibited him from.' _{Kanz al-Ummal, no. 7072}

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :} كانَ إبراهيمُ أبي غَيوراً وأنا أغيَرُ مِنهُ ، وأرغَمَ اللَّهُ أنفَ مَن لا يَغارُ مِن المؤمنينَ . _{بحار الأنوار : 103 / 248 / 33 .}

 ^{The Prophet (SAWA) said,} 'My father Abraham [i.e. the prophet] was very possessive and I am even more possessive than him. Allah abases the one who has no sense of possessiveness from among the believers.' _{Bihar al-Anwar, v. 103, p. 248, no. 33}

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  مِن الغَيرَةِ مايُحِبُّ اللَّهُ ، ومِنها ما يَكرَهُ اللَّهُ ، فأمّا مايُحِبُّ فالغَيرَةُ فِي الرِّيبةِ، وأمّا ما يَكرَهُ فالغَيرَةُ في غيرِ الرِّيبةِ . _{كنز العمّال : 7067 .}

 ^{The Prophet (SAWA) said,} 'There is possessiveness that Allah likes, and possessiveness that Allah dislikes. That which He likes is the possessiveness during doubt or misgiving [about one's wife], and the [over]possessiveness He dislikes is in a situation where there is no [reason to] doubt.' _{Kanz al-Ummal, no. 7067}

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  غَيرَتانِ أحَدُهُما يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَالاُخرى‏ يُبغِضُهَا اللَّهُ : الغَيرَةُ مِنَ الرِّيبَةِ يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَالغَيرَةُ مِن غَيرِ الرِّيبَةِ يُبغِضُهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّوجَلَّ . _{الفردوس : 3 / 106 / 4295 .}

 ^{The Prophet (SAWA) said,} 'There are two kinds of possessiveness in which Allah likes one of them and dislikes the other: Possessiveness over being accused, in which Allah likes, and possessiveness in not being accused, which Allah the Exalted dislikes.' _{al-Firdaws, v. 3, p. 106, no. 4295}
