(323) بَابُ مَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا
Abu'l-Haytham said, "Some people came to 'Uqba ibn 'Amir and said,'We have some neighbours who drink (wine) and behave incorrectly. Shallwe bring them before the ruler?' 'No,' he replied, 'I heard the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "Whoever sees thefault of a Muslim and then veils it, it is as if he brought girl buriedalive back to life from her grave.''"
