Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 12141

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا خَفِيَتِ الْخَطِيئَةُ لَمْ تَضُرَّ إِلَّا صَاحِبَهَا ، وَإِذَا ظَهَرَتْ فَلَمْ تُغَيَّرْ ضَرَّتِ الْعَامَّةَ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَهُوَ مَتْرُوكٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a sin is hidden, it harms only the one who commits it, and when it becomes open and is not removed, it harms the people at large."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Marwan bin Salim al-Ghifari, who is matruk (abandoned).
