Sahih Muslim 1481a (Book 18, Hadith 65) #10853
The Harm of Mentioning Past Events

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of not bringing up past events and how it can be damaging to do so.

Hisham reported on the authority of his father that Yahya b. Sa'id b. al-'As married the daughter of 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Hakam, and he divorced her and he turned her out from his house'.Urwa (Allah be -pleased with him) criticized this (action) of theirs (the members of the family of her in-laws). They said: Verily, Fatima too went out (of her in-laws' house)'.Urwa said: I came to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and told her about it and she said: There is no good for Fatima bint Qais (Allah be pleased with her) in making mention of it.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، تَزَوَّجَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ فَطَلَّقَهَا فَأَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَعَابَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ عُرْوَةُ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ ‏.‏ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ مَا لِفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ خَيْرٌ فِي أَنْ تَذْكُرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of not bringing up past events, especially those related to divorce or other family matters. It is said that Yahya b. Sa'id b. al-'As married the daughter of 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Hakam, and then divorced her and turned her out from his house, which was criticized by 'Urwa (Allah be pleased with him). In response, they mentioned how even Fatima went out from her in-laws’ house as well; however, 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said there was no good in mentioning this event again as it would only cause harm and distress for all involved parties. This hadith teaches us that we should not bring up past events as it can cause more harm than good; instead we should focus on living in the present moment and making sure our actions are beneficial for everyone around us now rather than dwelling on what has already happened in the past.
