Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَيْمُونٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تُؤْذُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُعَيِّرُوهُمْ وَلَا تَطْلُبُوا عَوْرَاتِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ طَلَبَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ طَلَبَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ حَتَّى يَفْضَحَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to us, Maymun narrated to us, Muhammad ibn 'Abbad narrated to us, from Thawban, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: "Do not harm the servants of Allah, do not revile them, and do not seek out their faults. For whoever seeks out the faults of his Muslim brother, Allah will seek out his faults until He exposes him even within his own house."
