[Machine] I said to 'Uqbah, "Indeed, we have neighbors who drink alcohol, and I am inviting them to stop. However, they ignore me. He said, "Don't do that, but instead advise them and warn them. I said, "I did that, but they did not listen. He said, "Then come to me when smoke comes out." He said, "I prohibited them, but they did not stop. And I am inviting them to stop. 'Uqbah said, "Woe to you, don't do that. Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever conceals the faults of a believer, it is as if he has revived a desiccated carcass from its grave."  

قُلْتُ لِعُقْبَةَ إِنَّ لَنَا جِيرَانًا يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ وَأَنَا دَاعٍ لَهُمُ الشُّرَطَ فَيَأْخُذُوهُمْ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ وَلَكِنْ عِظْهُمْ وَتَهَدَّدْهُمْ قَالَ فَفَعَلَ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ دُخَيْنٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَهَيْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا وَأَنَا دَاعٍ لَهُمُ الشُّرَطَ فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ وَيْحَكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ سَتَرَ عَوْرَةَ مُؤْمِنٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا اسْتَحْيَا مَوْءُودَةً مِنْ قَبْرِهَا
