'Abdullah ibn Burayda reported from his father that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not call a
hypocrite 'master'. He is not your master and you will have angered your
Lord, the Mighty and Exalted."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: إِذَا سَمِعْتَ الرَّجُلَ يَقُولُ: هَلَكَ النَّاسُ، فَهُوَ أَهْلَكُهُمْ.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "When you hear a man saying, 'People are
destroyed,' then he has destroyed them."
حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ أَرْطَأَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا زُكِّيَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِمَا يَقُولُونَ، وَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا لا يَعْلَمُونَ.
'Adi ibn Arta' said, "When one of the Companions of the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was praised, he said in supplication
to Allah), 'Do not take me to task for what they say and forgive me for
what they do not know.'"
Abu'l-Haytham said, "Some people came to 'Uqba ibn 'Amir and said,
'We have some neighbours who drink (wine) and behave incorrectly. Shall
we bring them before the ruler?' 'No,' he replied, 'I heard the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "Whoever sees the
fault of a Muslim and then veils it, it is as if he brought girl buried
alive back to life from her grave.''"
