The authenticity of Anas’s hadith: Bulugh al-Maram 16:74?
There is no harm in it; al-Hafiz (may Allah have mercy on him) graded it as good.
Q: How is mentioning a fault done by way of warning?
A: It means that when one looks at the faults of people, he warns against them. He reflects on them in order to warn against them. The faults of people are in anger, the faults of people are in haste, the faults of people are in backbiting. He reflects on the evil that results from them so that he may warn against them.
Blessed is he who is preoccupied with his defects rather than those of other people.
طوبى لمن شغله عيبه عن عيوب الناسThere is no harm in it; al-Hafiz (may Allah have mercy on him) graded it as good.
