also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of
Israel]
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 Book 08, Chapter 73, Hadith #
095].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 017. "your Lord as an
All-Knower and All-Beholder, fully aware of the sins of His slaves. 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.
