Pursuit of People s Faults

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Do not seek to pursue believers shameful acts, for verily whoever pursues believers shameful acts, Allah will pursue his shameful acts, and whoever s shameful acts Allah pursues, He will expose, even if it be in the confines of his own home.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Anticipating attentively for a fault [in someone] is a fault in itself.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘He who finds faults will be accused of them himself, and he who insults will be retorted to [with worse].

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The furthest a servant can be from Allah is when he associates in a brotherly manner with someone while at the same time making note of all his faults in order to one day shame him.
