Sunan Ibn Majah 2546 (Book 20, Hadith 14) #31900
Concealing Faults of a Muslim Brother

SUMMARY: Concealing the faults of a Muslim brother is rewarded by Allah, while exposing them will lead to humiliation.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet said: "Whoever conceals the (hidden) fault of his Muslim brother, Allah (SWT) will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever exposes the fault of his Muslim brother, Allah will expose his faults, until (so that) He shames him, due to it, in his (own) house".
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْجُمَحِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ سَتَرَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ سَتَرَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ كَشَفَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ حَتَّى يَفْضَحَهُ بِهَا فِي بَيْتِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of concealing the faults of our fellow Muslims. It teaches us that if we conceal their faults, Allah will reward us by concealing our own faults on the Day of Resurrection. On the other hand, if we expose their faults, Allah will expose ours until He shames us in our own house. This hadith encourages us to be kind and forgiving towards each other and not to judge or criticize one another harshly as it can lead to humiliation for both parties involved. It also reminds us that whatever we do in this life has consequences in the hereafter and that we should strive to do good deeds so that they are rewarded on Judgment Day.
