The higher a person's status is and the more blessings he receives from Allah, the greater his sin and the more serious the offence will be if he does something blameworthy, because Allah reminded His Messenger (ﷺ) that if he did that - although he is far above doing such a thing- then: (We would have made you taste double punishment, both in this life and after death. Thereupon, you would have found no helper against Us). Al-Saadi: 464
