حَدَّثَنَا السَّيِّدُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعَلَوِيُّ، أَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِبَّانَ بْنِ حَمْدَوَيْهِ الْمُذَكِّرُ، ثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْقَزْوِينِيُّ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ تَوْبَةَ، ثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ،
قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ الْعَوَاتِقَ فِي بُيُوتِهَا أَوَ قَالَ: فِي خُدُورِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِقَلْبِهِ لَا تَغْتَابُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا عَوْرَاتِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ تَتَبَّعَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ تَتَبَّعَ اللهُ عَوْرَتَهُ، وَمَنْ تَتَبَّعَ اللهُ عَوْرَتَهُ يَفْضَحُهُ وَلَوْ فِي جَوْفِ بَيْتِهِ "

He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us so that even the young women in their houses heard him — or he said: in their chambers. Then he said: "O company of those who believed with their tongues, while faith has not entered their hearts: do not backbite the Muslims, and do not pursue their faults. For whoever pursues the fault of his Muslim brother, Allah will pursue his fault, and whoever Allah pursues his fault, He will expose him, even in the depths of his own house."
