"كُل أمَّتِي مُعَافى إِلّا المُجَاهِرين، وَإِنَّ مِنَ المَجَانَةِ: أنْ يَعْمَلَ الرّجلُ بِالليل عَمَلًا ثُمَّ يُصبحُ وَقَدْ سَتَرَهُ الله فَيَقولُ: عَمِلتُ البَارِحَةَ كذَا وَكَذَا، وقَد بَاتَ يَسْتُرُه رَبُّه، وَيُصْبِحُ يَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ الله ﷻ عَنه".
All may be forgiven except for the ones who publicize their sins
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “All of my Ummah will be pardoned except those who publicize their sins. Indeed, part of shamelessness is that a man commits a deed at night and then morning comes while Allah has concealed him. Yet he says, ‘O so-and-so, last night I did such-and-such,’ while his Lord had covered him during the night, and in the morning he reveals Allah’s covering from himself.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ أُمَّتِي مُعَافًى إِلاَّ الْمُجَاهِرِينَ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْمَجَانَةِ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ عَمَلاً ثُمَّ يُصْبِحَ وَقَدْ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَيَقُولَ: يَا فُلاَنُ عَمِلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَقَدْ بَاتَ يَسْتُرُهُ رَبُّهُ، وَيُصْبِحُ يَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ».
All the people of my Ummah would get pardon for their sins except those who publicise them. And (it means) that a servant should do a deed during the night and tell the people in the morning that he has done so and so, whereas Allah has concealed it. And he does a deed during the day and when it is night he tells the people, whereas Allah has concealed it. Zuhair has used the word hijar for publicising.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كُلُّ أُمَّتِي مُعَافَاةٌ إِلاَّ الْمُجَاهِرِينَ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الإِجْهَارِ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ الْعَبْدُ بِاللَّيْلِ عَمَلاً ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ قَدْ سَتَرَهُ رَبُّهُ فَيَقُولُ يَا فُلاَنُ قَدْ عَمِلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَقَدْ بَاتَ يَسْتُرُهُ رَبُّهُ فَيَبِيتُ يَسْتُرُهُ رَبُّهُ وَيُصْبِحُ يَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْهِجَارِ
