Those Who Seek to Find Mistakes and (expose) Privacies of the Believers

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَوِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) لا تَطْلُبُوا عَثَرَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنَّ مَنْ تَتَبَّعَ عَثَرَاتِ أَخِيهِ تَتَبَّعَ الله عَثَرَاتِهِ وَمَنْ تَتَبَّعَ الله عَثَرَاتِهِ يَفْضَحْهُ وَلَوْ فِي جَوْفِ بَيْتِهِ.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ali ibn Isma’il from ibn Muskan from Muhammad ibn Muslim or al-Halabi from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Do not seek to find faults with the believers; if one seeks to find fault with his brother (in belief), Allah will find faults with him and whoever’s fault Allah will seek to find. He will bring disgrace upon him and it may take place even inside his very own home.’”
