حَدِيثُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Hadith of Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7389 — I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: Indeed, if you
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ الرَّاسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : إِنَّكَ إِذَا اتَّبَعْتَ عَوْرَاتِ النَّاسِ أَفْسَدْتَهُمْ ، أَوْ كِدْتَ أَنْ تُفْسِدَهُمْ . قَالَ : يَقُولُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ : كَلِمَةٌ سَمِعَهَا مُعَاوِيَةُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : « نَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, if you pursue people's faults and hidden matters, you will corrupt them, or you will come close to corrupting them." Rashid bin Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) said about this saying that it is a statement which Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) heard himself from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah Almighty benefited him through it.
