عَنْ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ مُخَلَّدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ :
" مَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا فِي الدُّنْيَا ، سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، وَمَنْ نَجَّى مَكْرُوبًا ، فَكَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ ، كَانَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي حَاجَتِهِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَتْ أَحَادِيثُ فِي الْمَعْنَى فِي الرِّحْلَةِ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ .
Sayyiduna Maslamah bin Mukhallad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim in this world, Allah Almighty will conceal him in this world and the Hereafter; whoever rescues one in distress, Allah Almighty will remove from him one of the distresses of the Day of Resurrection; and whoever is occupied in fulfilling his brother's need, Allah Almighty fulfils his need."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih. Some reports with this meaning have already passed in the chapter on travelling in pursuit of knowledge.

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."

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ :
قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، ، يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَلَمْ يَخْلُصِ الْإِيمَانُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ " - حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ الْعَوَاتِقَ فِي خُدُورِهِنَّ - " لَا تُؤْذُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَلَا تَتَبَّعُوا عَوْرَاتِهِمْ ; فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ تَتَبَّعَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ ، تَتَبَّعَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ حَتَّى يَخْرِقَهَا عَلَيْهِ فِي بَطْنِ بَيْتِهِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ الطَّائِفِيُّ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said: "O people! O assembly of those who have believed with their tongues while faith has not reached their hearts!" The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made his voice reach the women in their seclusion. (He said:) "Do not harm the Muslims and do not pry into their hidden affairs, for whoever pries into his brother's hidden affairs, Allah Almighty will expose his hidden affairs, to the point that He will expose them even while he is inside his own house (and still the matter will come to light)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its chain contains Isma'il bin Shaybah al-Ta'ifi, who is da'if (weak).

And whoever of you has come to inform us about someone's hidden affair which Allah Almighty has concealed, let him keep Allah's covering in place and entrust that concealed matter to the One who has the power to forgive it, for I do not have the power to forgive it; I would only carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on that person and punish him."

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُتَحَنِّطًا ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ وَوَجَدَ رِيحَ الْحَنُوطِ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَهُ ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ وَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ ، وَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ ، قَالَ : اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ وَتُبْ إِلَيْهِ ، وَاسْتُرْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ ، وَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَهَا فَافْعَلْ .

The narrator says: The man came to him and mentioned that he had had intercourse with his wife's slave girl, and he asked him to carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on him.

Al-Tabarani recorded it. The narrator Ibrahim did not live in the time of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), but its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
