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