Allah ﷺ said: “Indeed, those who love for immorality to spread among the believers will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter.” (Nur 19)
قَالَ الله تَعَالَى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَشِيعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَة﴾ [النور: ١٩].
The Prophet ﷺ said: “No servant conceals ˹the faults of˺ another servant in this world except that Allah will conceal for him on the Day of Judgement.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «لاَ يَسْتُرُ عَبْدٌ عَبْدًا فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ».
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “All of my Ummah will be pardoned except those who publicize their sins. Indeed, part of shamelessness is that a man commits a deed at night and then morning comes while Allah has concealed him. Yet he says, ‘O so-and-so, last night I did such-and-such,’ while his Lord had covered him during the night, and in the morning he reveals Allah’s covering from himself.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ أُمَّتِي مُعَافًى إِلاَّ الْمُجَاهِرِينَ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْمَجَانَةِ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ عَمَلاً ثُمَّ يُصْبِحَ وَقَدْ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَيَقُولَ: يَا فُلاَنُ عَمِلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَقَدْ بَاتَ يَسْتُرُهُ رَبُّهُ، وَيُصْبِحُ يَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ».
The Prophet ﷺ said: “If a maid-servant commits adultery and it is proven, then let him (the master) flog her and not reproach her. Then if she commits adultery again, let him flog her and not reproach her. Then if she commits adultery a third time, let him sell her, even if only for a rope made of hair.”
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِذَا زَنَتِ الأَمَةُ فَتَبَيَّنَ زِنَاهَا فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتْ فَلْيَجْلِدْهَا وَلاَ يُثَرِّبْ، ثُمَّ إِنْ زَنَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَلْيَبِعْهَا وَلَوْ بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعَرٍ».
A man who had drunk ˹alcohol˺ was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, “Beat him!” Abu Hurayrah said: Some of us struck him with their hands, some struck him with their sandals, and some struck him with their garments. When he turned away, some people said, “May Allah disgrace you!” He said, “Do not say that; do not help Satan against him.”
أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ، قَالَ: «اضْرِبُوهُ!». قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَمِنَّا الضَّارِبُ بِيَدِهِ وَالضَّارِبُ بِنَعْلِهِ وَالضَّارِبُ بِثَوْبِهِ. فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: أَخْزَاكَ اللَّهُ!، قَالَ: «لاَ تَقُولُوا هَكَذَا، لاَ تُعِينُوا عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانَ».
