It is reported that Bilāl b. Saʿd – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Abū Nuʿaym, ʿHilyatu Al-Awliyāʾ 5:228
It is reported that Bilāl b. Saʿd – Allāh have mercy on him – said:
A brother who, whenever you meet him, points out to you one of your faults (for you to correct yourself) is better for you than a brother who, whenever you meet him, puts a dīnār (money) in your hand.
Abū Bakr Al-Daynūrī, Al-Mujālasah wa Jawāhir Al-ʿIlm no. 1428.
When a sin is hidden it harms only the perpetrator, but if it is made apparent and not rectified, it harms all the people.
Ibn Waḍḍāḥ, Al-Bidʿah #287.
Do not think about how small the sin is, but think about who you have just disobeyed. Ibn Al-Mubārak, Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqā`iq Vol.1 p150.
