"A believer covers up and advises"

Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali writes:

وقال الفضيل بن عياض موضحًا الفرق بين الناصح والشامت: المؤمن يستر وينصح والفاجر يهتك ويعير

ENGLISH:

"When Al-Fudhayl Ibn Iyaadh was asked about the difference between advicing and exposing, he said: "A believer covers up and advises [his or her fellow believers], whereas an evildoer exposes and humiliates [others]."

NEDERLANDS:

"Toen Al-Fudhayl Ibn Iyaadh het verschil uitlegde tussen adviseren en openlijk anderen bloot stellen zei hij: "De gelovige adviseert in vertrouwen, terwijl de slechte ontbloot en beschaamt."
