مَنْ رَأَى عَوْرَةً فَسَتَرَهَا كَانَ كَمَنْ أَحْيَا مَوْءُودَةً مِنْ قَبْرِهَاWhoever sees a fault and conceals it is like one who revives a buried girl from her grave
Hadith 492
اُردوEn
492 - وأنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ التُّجِيبِيُّ، نا ابْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، نا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ. وَلَمْ يَقُلْ: «مِنْ قَبْرِهَا»
Ali bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Muslim bin Ibrahim narrated to us with his chain the like of it, and he did not say the words «من قبرها» (from his grave).
Brief Explanation
Explanation:
In all these ahadith, the virtue of concealing the faults of a Muslim brother has been described: that whoever covers the faults of a Muslim becomes deserving, in the sight of Allah, of a reward equal to that of the person who saved the life of a girl who had been buried alive. However, if someone is a habitual offender, and even after being advised and admonished does not desist, then in such a case, concealing his faults is not appropriate, because this will only increase his crimes. Therefore, true goodwill lies in bringing his matter to the authorities so that he may be reformed.
