حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ وَمِنْهَا مَا يَكْرَهُ اللَّهُ فَأَمَّا مَا يُحِبُّ فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرِّيبَةِ وَأَمَّا مَا يَكْرَهُ فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ رِيبَةٍ " .

Muhammad ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us: Wakiʿ narrated to us, from Shayban Abu Muʿawiyah, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Sahm, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Some jealousy is loved by Allah, and some He dislikes. As for what He loves, it is jealousy when there is cause for suspicion; as for what He dislikes, it is jealousy when there is no cause for suspicion.’
