Al-Hisab: All our deeds will be exposed Hadeeth of Najwa (pg. A 44)

THOSE WHOSE SINS WILL BE EXPOSED ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT “All of my ummah will be fine except for those who commit sin openly (al- mujahiroon). Part of committing sin openly is when a man does something at night and Allaah conceals it, but in the morning he says, ‘O So-and-so, last night I did such and such.’ His Lord had covered his sin all night, but in the morning he removed the cover of Allaah.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5721; Muslim, 2990) Similarly, if anyone knows of somebody else’s sin, he/she should keep it a secret. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w (peace be upon him) said: “He, who relieves a hardship of this Dunia (world) for a believer, Allah will relieve (from him) a hardship of the Day of Resurrection; he who makes easy an indebted person, Allah will make it easy for him in the Dunia and the Hereafter; he who covers a Muslim (meaning his mistakes and shortcomings), Allah will cover him in the Dunia and the Hereafter …” [Sahih Muslim]
