Hadith #125
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا قُطْبَةُ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيّ
ِ قَالَ نَادَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ الْعَوَاتِقَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ الْإِيمَانُ قَلْبَهُ لَا تَغْتَابُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا عَوْرَاتِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَتَّبِعْ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ يَتَّبِعْ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ حَتَّى يَفْضَحَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ

English Translation
Yaḥyā ibn Ādam narrated to us, Quṭbah narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from a man of the people of Baṣrah, from Abū Barzah al-Aslamī who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out loudly enough for the young women to hear, and he said: ‘O assembly of those who have believed with their tongues but faith has not entered their hearts! Do not backbite the Muslims and do not pursue their faults. For whoever pursues the fault of his brother, Allah will pursue his fault until He exposes him in his own home.’
