1929. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed (each) one of you is the reflection of his brother. So if he sees something harmful in him, then let him remove it from him." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] Yahya bin 'Ubaidullāh was graded weak by Shu'bah. [He said:] There is something on this topic from Anas.
١٩٢٩ - حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مِرْآةُ أَخِيهِ»، فَإِنْ رَأَى بِهِ أَذًى فَلْيُمِطْهُ عَنْهُ. وَيَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ضَعَّفَهُ شُعْبَةُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ.

A mirror does the function of faithfully reflecting the face to the onlooker including the scars and the evil spots, to the exclusion of all others. It makes no mistake in casting the true reflection. It is, therefore, the duty of each Muslim to inform his brother with all the sincerity and goodwill at his command of whatever wrong or unseemly quality he sees in him, without broadcasting it in public.
