Explaining one of the methods of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in calling people to Allah

The Shaykh: And this is part of the etiquette of prophethood and part of his teaching (peace and blessings be upon him) to us: that if one of us makes a mistake, we should not expose him in front of people and say, "So-and-so said such-and-such" or "did such-and-such," because this becomes a cause of repulsion and there is no scholarly benefit in it. This is unlike this simple Prophetic method, which is to say: He is recounting the erroneous statement... but he does not name or mention its speaker, because there is no benefit in naming the speaker.
