The Prophet ﷺ said: When sin is done in the earth, he who sees it and disapproves of it will be taken like one who was not present, but he who is not present and approves of it will be like him who sees.  

أبو داود:٤٣٤٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُغِيرَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ عَنِ الْعُرْسِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا عُمِلَتِ الْخَطِيئَةُ فِي الأَرْضِ كَانَ مَنْ شَهِدَهَا فَكَرِهَهَا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أَنْكَرَهَا كَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا وَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا فَرَضِيَهَا كَانَ كَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا

[Machine] I heard Ibn Mas'ud saying, "If a sin is committed among the people, whoever is content with it as if he is absent from it, it is as if he witnessed it. And whoever dislikes it as if he witnessed it, it is as if he is absent from it." And this was narrated from another source in an elevated manner.
