[7485] 52 - (2990) The nephew of Ibn Shihâb narrated that his paternal uncle said: Sâlim said: I heard Abû Hurairah say: “I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: ‘All of my Ummah will be fine except those who commit sin openly, and it is part of committing sin openly for a man to do something at night, then in the morning when his Lord has concealed him he says: “O so-and-so, I did such and such last night,” when his Lord had concealed him all night, but in the morning he discloses that which Allâh had concealed for him.”

52 - (2990) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - قَالَ عَبْدٌ: حَدَّثَنِي، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: حَدَّثَنَا - يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ سَالِمٌ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " كُلُّ أُمَّتِي مُعَافَاةٌ، إِلَّا الْمُجَاهِرِينَ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْإِجْهَارِ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ الْعَبْدُ بِاللَّيْلِ عَمَلًا، ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ قَدْ سَتَرَهُ رَبُّهُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا فُلَانُ قَدْ عَمِلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَقَدْ بَاتَ يَسْتُرُهُ رَبُّهُ، فَيَبِيتُ يَسْتُرُهُ رَبُّهُ، وَيُصْبِحُ يَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ اللهِ عَنْهُ " قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: «وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْهِجَارِ»
