Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The one whose faults Allah, the Exalted, concealed in this world, on the Day of Resurrection He will not inform the people of the gathering about his crimes and sins. He will only have him confess and acknowledge his sins before Himself, and then He will say: I had concealed your sins in the world, and today I forgive you. The meaning of a human concealing another human’s sins has already been discussed in the chapter "The Prohibition of Oppression," Hadith number 58.

Benefits and Issues:


By concealing (pardah poshi) is meant to refrain from exposing or publicizing someone’s sin or fault.


No human being is free from faults or mistakes; therefore, one should avoid disgracing others.


In the Hereafter, concealing (pardah rakhna) means forgiveness of one’s sins.


A good recompense for showing kindness to someone is received both in this world and in the Hereafter.
The way a person treats another, Allah Ta’ala also treats him in the same manner.
