Is it permissible to quote the Hadith with the wording: "Whoever seeks out the flaws of his Muslim brother, Allah will seek out his flaws until He exposes him in the confines of his own home," and "Whoever conceals a Muslim's faults in this world, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection"?
It is permissible to cite the with the aforementioned wording, as its content is sound, and it is composed of two authentic narrations: The first is from Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both: "O you who have embraced Islam with your tongues but faith has not entered your hearts, do not backbite Muslims, nor disparage them, nor seek out their faults. For whoever seeks out the faults of his Muslim brother, Allah will seek out his faults, and whoever Allah seeks out his faults, He will expose him even if he is in the privacy of his home." And the second is from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him: "Whoever conceals a Muslim, Allah will conceal him in this world and the Hereafter." All of these are authentic narrations.
