قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ؓ، قَالَ:

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ الْعَوَاتِقَ فِي بُيُوتِهَا، أَوْ فِي خُدُورِهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِلِسَانِهِ، لَا تَغْتَابُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا عَوْرَاتِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ تَتَبَّعَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ تَتَبَّعَ اللهُ عَوْرَتَهُ، وَمَنْ تَتَبَّعَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَوْرَتَهُ فَضَحَهُ فِي جَوْفِ بَيْتِهِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us a sermon until the young women in their houses—or in their chambers—could hear him. He said: “O assembly of those who have believed with their tongues, do not backbite the Muslims, and do not seek out their faults. For whoever seeks out his brother’s fault, Allah will seek out his fault, and whoever Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, seeks out his fault, He will expose him even in the innermost part of his house.”
