Don’t Be Assistants to the Devil Against Your Brothers
Ibn Masʿūd, may Allāh be pleased with him, said:
If you see your brother engaging in a sin, don’t be assistants to the Devil against him, saying, “O Allāh, bring humiliation upon him,” “O Allāh, curse him [and keep Your mercy away from him].”
Instead, ask Allāh for protection against all harms and evils, for indeed, we Companions of Muḥammad [ﷺ] would never say anything about a person until we came to know what he had died upon. Then if [his life] had come to a close [upon] good, we’d know he’d come upon good, and if [his life] had come to a close [upon] evil, we’d fear for him [what] his deeds [had brought upon him].

قال ابن مسعود:
إذا رأيتم أخاكم قارف ذنبا فلاتكونوا أعوانا للشيطان عليه، تقولوا: اللهم أخزه اللهم العنه، ولكن سلوا الله العافية فإنا أصحاب محمد كنا لانقول في أحد شيئا حتى نعلم على مايموت، فإن ختم له بخير علمنا أنه قد أصاب خيرا وإن ختم له بشر خفنا عليه عمله.
(صحيح)
