Sayyiduna Imam-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, but remain busy in finding out the faults of others by asking unnecessary questions, should learn a lesson. Remember! Intentionally trying to find out the fault of a Muslim without a Shar’i need or revealing his fault is a sin and Haraam and an act leading to Hell. Regarding the prohibition of finding faults with others, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated in Surah Al-Hujurat, part 26, verse 12:

وَ لَا  تَجَسَّسُوۡا

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And do not look for faults.

Sadr-ul-Afaadil, ‘Allamah Maulana Sayyid Mufti Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi عَـلَيْهِ رَحۡمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـهَادِی has stated regarding this verse: Do not pick out faults with Muslims, nor be in search of hidden information about others that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has hidden as He is ‘سَتَّار’ [the One Who conceals].’

(Khaza`in-ul-‘Irfan, pp. 823)

(He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has further said): It is stated in a blessed Hadees, ‘Avoid having suspicion, suspicion is a very untruthful thing and do not find faults with Muslims; do not have greed, feel jealousy, bear malice or be cruel to them. O bondsmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Remain brothers of each other as you have been commanded; a Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, he should not be cruel to him, he should not disgrace him and he should not be ungrateful to him. (He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then pointing towards his blessed chest said): Piety is here, piety is here, piety is here. (Khaza`in-ul-‘Irfan, pp.950)

گالیاں جو بکیں عیب بھی نہ ڈَھکیں    اُن کو کس نے کہا؟ عاشقانِ رسول

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
