حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، وَابْنُ عَوْفٍ (وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ) قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّكَ إِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ عَوْرَاتِ النَّاسِ أَفْسَدْتَهُمْ أَوْ كِدْتَ أَنْ تُفْسِدَهُمْ». فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ كَلِمَةٌ سَمِعَهَا مُعَاوِيَةُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِهَا

I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say: If you search for the faults of the people, you will corrupt them, or will nearly corrupt them. AbudDarda said: These are the words which Muawiyah himself from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and Allah benefited him by them.

মু‘আবিয়া (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ তুমি যদি মানুষের গোপন দোষ তালাশ করো তাহলে তাদেরকে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত করবে বা ক্ষতির সীমানায় পৌঁছে দিবে। অতঃপর আবূ দারদা (রাঃ) বললেন, এ কথা মু‘আবিয়া (রাঃ) রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে শুনেছেন, মহান আল্লাহ তাকে এর মাধ্যমে লাভবান করুন।[1] সহীহ।

معاویہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے ہوئے سنا: اگر تم لوگوں کی پوشیدہ باتوں کے پیچھے پڑو گے، تو تم ان میں بگاڑ پیدا کر دو گے، یا قریب ہے کہ ان میں اور بگاڑ پیدا کر دو ۱؎۔ ابو الدرداء کہتے ہیں: یہ وہ کلمہ ہے جسے معاویہ نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا ہے اور اللہ نے انہیں اس سے فائدہ پہنچایا ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isa bin Muhammad Ar Ramli] dan [Ibnu Auf] dan ini adalah lafadznya, keduanya berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Firyabi] dari [Sufyan] dari [Tsaur] dari [Rasyid bin Sa'd] dari [Mu'awiyah] ia berkata, "Aku mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika engkau mengamat-amati (menulusuri) aurat (aib) orang-orang, berarti engkau telah merusak mereka, atau hampir-hampir engkau merusak mereka."

Abu Darda bertanya, "Sebuah kalimat yang didengar oleh Mu'awiyah dari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, semoga dengan itu Allah memberi manfaat kepadanya

Hz. Muaviye'den (rivayet edildiğine göre) Rasûlullah (s.a.v.): "Eğer sen insanların gizli kusurlarını araştıracak olursan onları (n ahlâkını) bozmuş olursun" yahutta "neredeyse bozacak duruma gelirsin" buyurmuştur. Ebu'd-Derdâ dedi ki: "Bu, Muaviye'nin Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)'den işittiği (ve gereğince amel ettiği için kendisinden) yararlandığı bir sözdür

What it means

Indeed, if you pursue the faults of the Muslims by spying on them, searching for their deficiencies, digging up their faults that they conceal, and publicly expose them, you will be disgracing them and removing their covering. By doing so, people will no longer feel ashamed to commit similar sins openly after they used to do them secretly with nobody knowing about them except Allah, the Almighty.
