The answer

Ishaq ibn Rahawayh and Al-Khara'iti narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "O women of the believers, if one of you commits a sin, do not inform people of it, but rather seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty and repent to Him. For indeed, people will shame [you] and not change [your situation], while Allah the Almighty changes [your situation] and does not shame [you]." Some researchers have deemed this narration weak due to the presence of an unknown narrator.
