Ibn Jurayj narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) rode (that is, travelled from Madinah) to Egypt to meet Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), and said: "I wish to ask you about a matter; of those who were present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that time, none remain except you and me. (I wish to ask:) What did you hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say about concealing (the faults of) a Muslim?" Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever conceals a hidden matter of a believer in this world, Allah Almighty will conceal (his faults) on the Day of Resurrection.'" Then Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) set off from there back to Madinah; he had not even unfastened his saddle until Sayyiduna Uqbah narrated this hadith to him.
Imam Ahmad recorded it in this way, with a munqati' (broken) chain.
