Keep It To Yourself

Alhamdulillaah, bro M gave a bit of reminder for us just now. He told a story of where the prophet SAW and his wife (or maybe, his daughter, I do not remember) jalan-jalan. And then, his wife ani tenampak bini2 short masa durang jalan-jalan. Then, nya bini Rasullullaah SAW ani, "Pindik jua bini2 atu."

Then, Rasulullaah SAW replied, "Apa yang ko cakap atu adalah mengumpat. Bila ia (apa yang ko cakap atu) inda banar, then atu adalah fitnah."

And then, Bro Sanggamara replied, "I guess, the point (of the story) is to keep it to yourself (when you see something, even though it is a fact).

And then, I replied, "Hmmm... payah jua tu bro bila catu."

And bila atu inda banar, ia adalah fitnah. Fitnah ani dusanya lebih besar daripada membunuh.

Hmmm... Yeah, let's do our best and above the best to keep it to ourselves especially to me, insya-Allah. And it's not easy to do this.

*Updated on 17th January 2010* -> It was his wife, Sayyidatina Aisyah RA, not his daughter.

"Seandainya engkau menyampaikan keburukan saudaramu, jika itu benar, maka bererti kamu sudah membuka aib saudaramu, dan jika itu salah, maka engkau sudah melakukan fitnah" - Sayyidina 'Umar
