Chapter 8 - On Not Bothering Believers or Seeking Out their Flaws

“Every believer is like a mirror for his believing brother which helps eliminate his troubles.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “On Resurrection Day, people who opposed the believers will be called on the carpet. A group of people whose faces lack flesh shall stand up. Then they will be introduced as those who bothered the believers, held grudges against them, expressed animosity towards them, or blamed them for their religiousness. Then it will be ordered that they be taken to Hell.”

“Do not seek the flaws of the believers, since then God will seek out your flaws, and cause you public disgrace even if you are at home.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “On the Resurrection Day God will cover up the flaws of anyone who covers up the flaws of his believing brothers.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whoever blames a believer for committing a sin will not die until he commits that same sin.”
