Shaykh al-Hadeeth Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlawi (Allah have mercy on him) said,

“I remembered one thing which is very important, and necessary to vigilantly take care of. I especially emphasize it to my friends. Please take care of it. It comes in a Hadith (to the near meaning) that if one disgraces someone for a sin they committed then he will himself be involved in that sin before his death. I have observed this thing many times. And have also experienced it.

I emphatically advise my friends that to disgrace someone for a sin is a very bad thing.

To advise him, to warn him is something else, but to disgrace him, to humiliate him is something else.

Please take all means to save yourself from this.”
