Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with
him) reported: Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Every one of my followers will be forgiven
except those who expose (openly) their wrongdoings. An example of this is that
of a man who commits a sin at night which Allah has covered for him, and in the
morning, he would say (to people): "I committed such and such sin last night,'
while Allah had kept it a secret. During the night Allah has covered it up but
in the morning he tears up the cover provided by Allah Himself.''
[Al-Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Hadith #
095]
Lesson
: as mentioned above in Surah Hud Ayat 89.
" And O my people! Let not my Shiqaq cause you to suffer the
fate similar to that of the people." We
learn from this Hadith that commission of a sin due to human frailties on which
one is ashamed but does not like to express is something which might hopefully
be forgiven by Allah. In fact, its remission after penitence is almost sure. But
to commit a sin openly is totally different because, firstly, the heart of such
a person is deprived of the fear of Allah. Secondly, he has no respect and
regard for Divine injunctions. Thirdly, such a person usually does not repent
his sins. Fourthly, he makes a declaration of breach of Divine injunctions which
amounts to inviting His wrath and punishment.
