3. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, from his father, from Muhammed bin Sinan, from Hudhaifa bin Mansur, that he said
I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: There is something said by the people: «The blemish of a believer upon another believer is forbidden.» He said: It is not as you think. The blemish of a believer is only that one sees him speak with speech that he will be disgraced with, and that one saves it for him in order to distress him if he is angered (at him) one day.
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان: عن حذيفة بن منصور قال
قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: شئ يقوله الناس: " عورة المؤمن على المؤمن حرام " قال: ليس حيث تذهب، إنما عورة المؤمن أن يراه يتكلم بكلام يعاب عليه فيحفظه عليه ليعيره به يوما إذا غضب.
