Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The one whose faults Allah, the Exalted, concealed in this world, on the Day of Resurrection He will not inform the people of the gathering about his crimes and sins. He will only have him confess and acknowledge his sins before Himself, and then He will say: I had concealed your sins in the world, and today I forgive you. The meaning of a human concealing another human’s sins has already been discussed in the chapter "The Prohibition of Oppression," Hadith number 58.
