All of these lead to doom.’ (Al-Hadiqah-tun-Nadiyah, vol. 2, pp. 8)
1. Bad assumption causes the assuming person to become curious about the faults of the other person. This is because the heart of the presuming person does not get satisfied merely with assumption but rather demands investigation, causing curiosity about the faults of the other person, which is forbidden. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ says in the Holy Quran:
وَ لَا تَجَسَّسُوۡا
And do not find faults
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 26, Al-Hujurat, Ayah 12)
Explaining this Ayah, Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه (who passed away in 1367 AH) stated in Tafseer Khaza’in-ul-Irfan: ‘Neither find faults with the Muslims nor get curious about their hidden matters that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, who is Sattaar, has concealed.’
