حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْأَقْمَرِ، عَنْ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ : حَكَيْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا ، فَقَالَ : مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنِّي حَكَيْتُ رَجُلًا ، وَأَنَّ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَتْ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ صَفِيَّةَ امْرَأَةٌ ، وَقَالَتْ بِيَدِهَا : هَكَذَا كَأَنَّهَا تَعْنِي قَصِيرَةً ، فَقَالَ : " لَقَدْ مَزَجْتِ بِكَلِمَةٍ لَوْ مَزَجْتِ بِهَا مَاءَ الْبَحْرِ لَمُزِجَ " .
´Abu Hudhaifah narrated - and he was one of the companions of 'Abdullãh bin Mas'üd - from 'Aishah who said:` "I told the Prophet (ﷺ) about a man, so he said: 'I do not like to talk about a man, even if I were to get this or that (for doing so)." She said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Safiyyah is a woman who is ..." and she used her hand as if to indicate that she is short - "So he said: 'You have said a statement which, if it were mixed in with the water of the sea, it would pollute it."

Benefits and Issues:
It is forbidden to find fault with someone’s natural creation, to mock or ridicule them.
This is, in effect, finding fault with Allah ‘azza wa jall and expressing one’s own superiority.
When it is forbidden to find fault with natural matters, then commenting on deeds is also not permissible, except in the case where it is an act of sin so that it may serve as a lesson.
If the person has repented, then mentioning it is even more impermissible.
However, mentioning good deeds is permissible.
