Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 and Muslim].
وعنه قال: سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: "كل أمتي معافًى إلا المجاهرين، وإن من المجاهرة أن يعمل الرجل بالليل عملاً، ثم يصبح وقد ستره الله عليه فيقول: يا فلان عملت البارحة كذا وكذا، وقد بات يستره ربه، ويصبح يكشف ستر الله عنه" ((متفق عليه)) .

Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "When a slave-girl commits fornication and this fact of fornication has become evident, she must be given the penalty of (fifty) lashes without hurling reproaches at her; if she does it again, she must be given the penalty but she should not be rebuked. If she does it for the third time, he should sell her, even for a rope woven from hair (i.e., something worthless)".

Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported:
A man who had drunk wine was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and he asked us to beat him; some struck him with their hands, some with their garments (making a whip) and some with their sandals. When he (the drunkard) had gone, some of the people said: "May Allah disgrace you!" He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "Do not say so. Do not help the devil against him".
[Al-Bukhari].
وعنه قال: أتى النبي ﷺ برجل قد شرب خمرًا قال: "اضربوه" قال أبو هريرة : فمنا الضارب بيده، والضارب بنعله، والضارب بثوبه. فلما انصرف قال بعض القوم: أخزاك الله قال: "لا تقولوا هكذا لا تعينوا عليه الشيطان" ((رواه البخاري)).
