Abu Kathir, the freed slave of Hazrat Uqbah, says that once I came to Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him that some of our neighbors drink alcohol. He replied, "Leave them to their own state." After some time, I came again and said, "Should I not call the police for them?" Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Oh brother! Leave them to their own state, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, it is as if he has given new life to a girl who was buried alive."
