(يَكْفِي لِشَرِّ الإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يُشَارَ إِلَيْهِ)
(It is enough for a person’s evil that they are pointed at)
Hadith 5326
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «بِحَسب امريءٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يُشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ فِي دِينٍ أَوْ دُنْيَا إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ»
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he said: "It is sufficient evil for a man that fingers are pointed at him (he becomes notorious) in matters of his religion or worldly affairs, except for the one whom Allah protects." Its chain is weak. Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman.
