Majma al-Zawaid 10473 — Concealing the faults of Muslims

وَعَنْ أَرْطَاةَ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ السَّكُونِيِّ :
أَنَّ آتِيًا أَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ لِي جَارًا يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ ، وَيَأْتِي الْقَبِيحَ ، فَأَنْهِ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ ؟ فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ قَتَلْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنْ قَتَلْتُ مِثْلَهُمْ وَأَنِّي كَشَفْتُ قِنَاعَ مُسْلِمٍ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
It is mentioned about Sayyiduna Artah bin al-Mundhir al-Sakuni (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to him and said: "My neighbour drinks wine and does shameful deeds; shall I take his matter to the ruler?" Sayyiduna Artah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I killed ninety-nine of the polytheists in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It would not please me, having killed the like of them, to then expose the faults of a Muslim."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Maslamah bin Ali, who is da'if (weak).
