Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever conceals (the faults of) someone, it is as though he has given life to a girl buried alive in her grave."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Talhah bin Zayd, who is da'if (weak). He also recorded it with another chain that contains Abu Ma'shar, who is less weak than Talhah. The remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.
