Ibn Abi Mulaykah reported: Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “It is not allowed for a Muslim who hears a word from his brother to assume evil of him if he can find something good about it.”

عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنه قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ سَمِعَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ كَلِمَةً أَنْ يَظُنَّ بِهَا سُوءًا وَهُوَ يَجِدُ لَهَا فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَصْدَرًا
