حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، وَمُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا كَعْبُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ مَوْلًى لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: أبِيْ كَثِيرٌ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ (١) عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّ لَنَا جِيرَانًا يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ، قَالَ: دَعْهُمْ. ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ: أَلَا أَدْعُو عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّرَطُ؟ فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ: وَيْحَكَ دَعْهُمْ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مِنْ رَأَى عَوْرَةً فَسَتَرَهَا، كَانَ كَمَنْ أَحْيَا مَوْءُودَةً مِنْ قَبْرِهَا " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
Abu Kathir, the freed slave of Uqbah, says that once I came to Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him that some of our neighbors drink alcohol. He replied, "Leave them to their own state." After some time, I came again and said, "Should I not call the police for them?" Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Oh brother! Leave them to their own state, because I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say that whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, it is as if he has given new life to a girl who was buried alive."
