hadith 7473
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily everyone has faults, so do not expose that which is hidden from you, for indeed Allah, the Glorified, has hidden them out of clemency; and hide the faults [of others] as much as possible, [and in return] Allah, the Glorified, will hide that which you would like to remain hidden.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ لِلنّاسِ عُيُوباً فَلا تَكْشِفْ ما غابَ عَنْكَ فَإنَّ اللّهَ سُبْحانَهُ يَحْلُمُ عَلَيْها وَ اسْتُرِ العَوْرَةَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ يَسْتُرِ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ ما تُحِبُّ سَتْرَهُ
