Concealing the faults of one another
I’m not perfect, you’re not perfect, we are not perfect. Like the saying goes, its so much easier to pick faults in others rather than picking faults in ourselves because
(1) It makes us feel good (and degrading others takes us towards arrogance)
(2) others’ faults are probably more easily visible than our own.
May Allah protect our hearts and tongues.
Narrated Abu Barzah al-Aslami [may Allah be pleased with him] The Prophet (salalaahu Alaihi wasalam) said: O community of people, who believed by their tongue, and belief did not enter their hearts, do not back-bite Muslims, and do not search for their faults, for if anyone searches for their faults, Allah will search for his fault, and if Allah searches for the fault of anyone, He disgraces him in his house.
But people will look for your fault just to get something to say about you.
If you bring it,you shall surely get yours in return from Allah.
May Allah guide our hearts and protect us from slandering, accusing and backbiting other people.
Anas [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that the Messenger of Allah (salalaahu Alaihi wasalam) said: “Blessed is he who is preoccupied with his defects rather than those of other people.”
Related by Al-Bazzar with a good chain of narrators.
Our fault and mistake is our concern whatever you think and say about us is your own problem,na your own head and brain so think whatever you want👌
May Allah protect our hearts and tongues
