hadith 3988
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Do not probe for flaws in believers, for a man that probes the flaws of his brother will have Allah probe his own flaws; and when Allah probes the flaws of a man, He will expose him even if he were inside his own home.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لا تَطلُبوا عَثَراتِ المؤمنينَ ؛ فإنّ مَن تَتَبّعَ عَثَراتِ أخيهِ تَتَبّعَ اللّهُ عَثَراتِهِ، ومَن تَتَبّعَ اللّهُ عَثَراتِهِ يَفْضَحْهُ ولو في جَوفِ بَيتِهِ.

hadith 3989
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Do not ask the woman who fornicates about her partner in the offense; for just like it was easy for her to commit fornication, so it will be easy for her to accuse an innocent Muslim.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لا تَسألوا الفاجِرَةَ: مَن فَجَرَ بِكِ ؟ فكما هانَ علَيها الفُجورُ، يَهونُ علَيها أنْ تَرميَ البَريءَ المسلِمَ.
