Sunan Abi Dawud 4477 (Book 40, Hadith 127) #24768
Helping Others Overcome Sin

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed people to not shame someone who had committed a sin, instead they should help them in overcoming it.

Abu Hurairah said: When a man who had drunk wine was brought to the Messenger of Allah , he said: Beat him. Abu Hurairah said: Some struck him with their hands, some with their garment. When he turned his face, some people said: Allah put you shame! The Messenger of Allah said: Do not say like that and help the devil to get power over him.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اضْرِبُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَمِنَّا الضَّارِبُ بِيَدِهِ وَالضَّارِبُ بِنَعْلِهِ وَالضَّارِبُ بِثَوْبِهِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ أَخْزَاكَ اللَّهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لاَ تَقُولُوا هَكَذَا لاَ تُعِينُوا عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of helping others overcome their sins rather than shaming them for it. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was once presented with a man who had consumed alcohol and he instructed people to beat him as punishment. However, when some of the onlookers began to shame him, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told them not to do so and instead help him in overcoming his sin. This teaches us that we should never shame someone for their mistakes but rather try our best to help them out of it by providing advice and support. We must remember that Allah is Most Merciful and He loves those who show mercy towards others. Therefore, we should always strive to be kind and compassionate towards one another even if they have made mistakes or wronged us in any way.
