Constantly pointing faults of others ruins their self-esteem
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ نَفْيِ جَوَازِ ذِكْرِ تَتَبُّعِ الْمَرْءِ عُيُوبَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “If you follow the faults of people, you will corrupt them or risk corrupting them.”
He said that Abū Dardāʾ said, “Muʿāwiyah heard ˹this˺ statement from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Allah benefited him by it.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّكَ إِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ عَوْرَاتِ النَّاسِ أَفْسَدْتَهُمْ أَوْ كِدْتَ أَنْ تُفْسِدَهُمُ» قَالَ يَقُولُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ «كَلِمَةٌ سَمِعَهَا مُعَاوِيَةُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا»
