حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْأَقْمَرِ، عَنْ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا أُحِبُّ أَنِّي حَكَيْتُ أَحَدًا وَأَنَّ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَأَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ هُوَ كُوفِيٌّ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَيُقَالُ اسْمُهُ : سَلَمَةُ بْنُ صُهَيْبَةَ .

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.
