194 - وعن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام أنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: يا معشر من آمن بلسانه، ولم يؤمن بقلبه، لا تطلبوا عورات المؤمنين، ولا تتبعوا عثراتهم، فإن من اتبع عثرة أخيه اتبع الله عثرته، ومن اتبع الله عثرته فضحه ولو في جوف بيته.
194. It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah عليه السلام said: the Messenger of Allah عليه السلام said: O community of those who have believed with their tongues but not with their hearts! Do not seek the shortcomings of believers and do not try to uncover their faults. Most surely, one who seeks to uncover the faults of his brother, Allah will disclose his faults; and for whomsoever Allah discloses his faults, He will disgrace him even if it be within his own home.
