Hadith 2442
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ سَالِمًا أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يُسْلِمُهُ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ ، وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرُبَاتِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection . "

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
This hadith encourages that Muslims should cooperate with one another and deal with each other in a good manner, and if a sin is committed by someone, it should be concealed. However, regarding those sins which a person may commit and there is a risk that if a Muslim brother is not warned in time, he may fall into sin, then it is necessary to prevent him from such a sin.
The matter of criticism and validation (jarh wa ta'dil) regarding the narrators of hadith is different from this. In this context, one should not act with concealment, because criticizing them is not considered backbiting (ghibah).
Similarly, if one has to give testimony about someone, then one should give accurate testimony, because correct testimony is the right of society. In such situations, trying to hide someone from the law and concealing the criminal is itself a crime.
(2)
This hadith also indicates that a person should not backbite (ghibah) another, because this exposes someone’s faults, and in this way, a person himself becomes deprived of Allah’s concealment (satr).

Benefits and Issues:
One should keep informed about the conditions of other Muslim brothers and sisters, relatives, neighbors, and friends.
Especially in times of difficulty, becoming indifferent to them and leaving them to their circumstances is against the Shari‘ah and a very bad trait.
