حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ وَاسْمُهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَوْلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ قَالَتْ عَمْرَةُ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”أَقِيلُوا ذَوِيِ الْهَيْئَاتِ عَثَرَاتِهِمْ.“
Narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Overlook the slips and shortcomings of noble people."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
➊ If a noble and honorable person, whose reputation is good, commits a minor or major mistake, then instead of holding him strictly accountable, one should act with forgiveness and forbearance. For a noble person, even such a reprimand is sufficient. However, if a person is of bad character and openly sinful (fasiq), then a strict approach should be taken with him.
➋ If this slip is of such a nature that it necessitates the implementation of a prescribed punishment (hadd), for example, if someone commits adultery, theft, or falsely accuses someone, then in such a case the prescribed punishment (hadd) will be enforced and the person will also be punished. In matters of prescribed punishments (hudud), showing leniency is impermissible.
