Finding excuses for a Muslim:
‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه said:
“Do not think about a word that exits from a Muslim’s mouth except that you interpret it in the best manner.” [Ameelah of Al-Muhaamilee, p.395]
Muhammad Ibn Sireen رحمه الله said:
“If something reaches you about your brother, then search for an excuse for him. If you do not find an excuse for him, then make an excuse for him.” [Al-Jaami’ Li Shu’ab Al-Eemaan, 14/441]
Ja’far Ibn Muhammad رحمه الله said:
“If something that you dislike reaches you about your brother then search for one excuse for him up to seventy excuses. If it hits the mark, (then good). If not, then say, ‘Perhaps he has an excuse that I am not aware of.‘ ” [Al-Jaami’ Li Shu’ab Al-Eemaan, 14/442]
Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali رحمه الله
said: "The hypocrite looks for faults; the believer looks for excuses."
