Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 27486a
"يَا مَعْشَر الَّذِينَ أسْلَمُوا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلِ الإِيمَانُ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ: لَا تُؤْذُوا الْمُسْلمِينَ وَلَا تُعيِّرُوهُمْ، وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا عَثَرَاتِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَتَّبعْ عَثْرَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِم يَتَّبع اللَّه عَثْرَتَهُ، وَمَنْ يَتَّبِع اللَّه عَثْرَتَهُ يَفْضَحْهُ وَهُوَ فِى قَعْرِ بَيْتِهِ، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه: وَهَلْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ سِتْرٍ؟ قَالَ: سُتُورُ اللَّه عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَنْ تُحْصَى، إِنَّ الْمؤْمِنَ لَيَعمَلُ بِالذُّنُوبِ فَيَهْتِكُ اللَّه عَنْهُ سِتْرًا حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ شَئٌ، فَيَقُولُ اللَّه لِلمَلَائِكَةِ: اسْتُرُوا عَلَى عَبْدِى مِنَ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُعَيِّرُونَ وَلَا يُغَيِّرُونَ، فَتَحفُّ عَلَيْهِ الْملَائِكَةُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا يَسْتُرُونَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَإِنْ تَابَ قَبِلَ اللَّه منْهُ وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سُتُورَهُ، وَمَعَ كُلِّ سِتْرٍ تِسْعَةُ أَسْتَارٍ، فَإِنْ تَتَابَعَ فِى الذُّنُوبِ قَالت الْمَلَائِكَةُ: يَا رَبَّنَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ غَلَبَنَا وَأَقْذَرَنَا، فَيَقُولُ اللَّه: اسْتُرُوا عَبْدِى مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَإِنَّ النَّاس يُعَيِّرُونَ وَلَا يُغَيِّرُونَ، فَتَحُفُّ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا يَسْتُرونهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَإِنْ تَابَ قَبِل اللَّه مِنْهُ، وَإنْ عَادَ قَالتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ: رَبَّنَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ غَلَبَنَا وَأَقْذَرَنَا، فَيَقُولُ اللَّه لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ: تَخلَّوْا عَنْهُ، فَلَوْ عَمِلَ ذَنْبًا فِى بَيْتٍ مُظْلِمٍ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ فِى جُحْرٍ أَبْدَى اللَّه عَنْهُ وَعَنْ عَوْرَتِهِ".

"O assembly of those who have embraced Islam with their tongues while faith has not entered their hearts! Do not harm the Muslims, do not reproach them, and do not follow their slips, for whoever follows the slip of his Muslim brother, Allah will follow his slip, and whoever Allah follows his slip, He will expose him, even while he is in the depths of his house." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! Is there any concealment for the believer?" He said: "The concealments of Allah over the believer are more than can be counted. Indeed the believer may commit sins, and Allah removes from him a veil until nothing of it remains upon him. Then Allah says to the angels: 'Conceal My servant from the people, for they reproach but do not change.' So the angels surround him with their wings, covering him from the people. If he repents, Allah accepts his repentance and restores his veils, and with each veil there are nine veils. If he continues in sins, the angels say: 'O our Lord, he has overcome us and made us disgusted.' Allah says: 'Conceal My servant from the people, for the people reproach but do not change.' So the angels surround him with their wings, covering him from the people. If he repents, Allah accepts from him, but if he returns, the angels say: 'Our Lord, he has overcome us and made us disgusted.' Then Allah says to His angels: 'Leave him alone. If he commits a sin in a dark house on a dark night, in a hole, Allah will reveal it and his nakedness.'"
