أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَارُ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، نا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ،
أَنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ مَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ قَدْ أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا وَكَانُوا يَسُبُّونَهُ، فَقَالَ: " أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ فِي قَلِيبٍ أَلَمْ تَكُونُوا تَسْتَخْرِجُونَهُ؟ " قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ: " فَلَا تَسُبُّوا أَخَاكُمْ، وَاحْمَدُوا اللهَ الَّذِي عَافَاكُمْ "، قَالُوا: أَفَلَا نَبْغَضُهُ؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا أَبْغَضُ عَمَلُهُ فَإِذَا تَرَكَ فَهُوَ أَخِي "

Abū al-Dardāʾ passed by a man who had committed a sin, and the people were insulting him. He said: "Do you not think that if you found him in a well, you would pull him out?" They said: "Yes." He said: "Then do not insult your brother, and praise God who has kept you safe." They said: "Should we not hate him?" He said: "I only hate his deed; if he gives it up, he is my brother."
