حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ نَشِيطٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ دُخَيْنٍ، كَاتِبِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعُقْبَةَ: إِنَّ لَنَا جِيرَانًا يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ، وَأَنَا دَاعٍ لَهُمُ الشُّرَطَ فَيَأْخُذُوهُمْ. فَقَالَ: لَا تَفْعَلْ، وَلَكِنْ عِظْهُمْ وَتَهَدَّدْهُمْ. قَالَ: فَفَعَلَ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا، قَالَ: فَجَاءَهُ دُخَيْنٌ. فَقَالَ: إِنِّي نَهَيْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا، وَأَنَا دَاعٍ لَهُمُ الشُّرَطَ، فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ: وَيْحَكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ سَتَرَ عَوْرَةَ مُؤْمِنٍ، فَكَأَنَّمَا اسْتَحْيَا مَوْءُودَةً مِنْ قَبْرِهَا " (١)، ،

Dukhain, who was the scribe of Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that once I said to Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Our neighbors drink alcohol. I am going to call the police so that they may come and arrest them." Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do not do so; rather, advise them and warn them." The scribe did so, but they did not desist. So Dukhain again came to Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I forbade them, but they did not desist, and now I will surely call the police." Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Alas! Do not do so, because I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, it is as if he saves a girl buried alive."
