عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ أَنَّ عُقْبَةَ أَتَى مَسْلَمَةَ بْنَ مَخْلَدٍ بِمِصْرَ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ رَكِبَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ إِلَى مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ مَخْلَدٍ وَهُوَ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى مِصْرَ وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَوَّابِ شَيْءٌ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ زَائِرًا وَلَكِنِّي جِئْتُكَ لِحَاجَةٍ أَتَذْكُرُ يَوْمَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((مَنْ عَلِمَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ سَيِّئَةً فَسَتَرَهَا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ)) فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لِهَذَا جِئْتُ
Makhool says: Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyiduna Muslamah bin Makhlad in Egypt. In one narration, it is stated: Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted his ride and reached Sayyiduna Muslamah bin Makhlad (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was the governor of Egypt. There was some dispute between him and the guard. Sayyiduna Muslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) himself heard the voice and permitted him to enter. He said: This time I have come to visit you, not for any personal need. The matter is, do you remember that day when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever comes to know of his brother’s fault but conceals it, Allah Almighty will conceal him on the Day of Resurrection? He said: Yes, I remember. He said: I have come for this purpose.
