Allah Yang Maha Tinggi berfirman, {Dan janganlah kamu mengintip-intip satu sama lain.} (Al-Hujurat: 12)

Allah Most High says, {And spy not on each other.} (Al-Hujurat: 12)

Maksud perintah ini ialah bahawa seorang Muslim hendaklah menjauhi usaha mencari-cari aib saudaranya yang telah Allah tutupi.

The meaning of this command is that a Muslim should avoid searching about his brother's faults that Allah has concealed.

Suatu ketika seorang lelaki berkata kepada Ibn Mas'ud (semoga Allah meredainya), "Lelaki ini, Al-Walid Ibn 'Uqbah, nampaknya mabuk kerana kesan arak kelihatan pada janggutnya." Ibn Mas'ud menjawab, "Kita diperintahkan untuk menjauhi pengintipan, tetapi apabila sesuatu itu jelas kepada kita, kita menghukum berdasarkannya." Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Sesiapa yang mendengar perbualan orang yang tidak suka dia mendengarnya, nescaya pada Hari Kiamat timah cair akan dituangkan ke dalam telinganya."1

Once a man said to Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), "This man, Al-Walid Ibn 'Uqbah, seems to be drunk for the traces of wine appears on his beard." Ibn Mas'ud replied, "We are commanded to avoid spying but when something ascertained to us we judge accordingly.” The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) declared, "Whoever listens to people who are averse to his listening shall have molten lead poured into his ears on the Day of Judgment.”1
