عَنْ أبي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي اللّهُ عنهُ قال: قالَ رسولُ اللّهِ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم: مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلامِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لاَ يَعْنِيهِ» حديثٌ حسنٌ رواهُ التِّرْمذيُّ وغيرُهُ.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Part of the perfection of a person's Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him." A good (hasan) hadith narrated by al-Tirmidhi and others.

على الإنسان أن يشتغل بما فيه صلاحه معاشًا ومعادًا. من كمال الإنسان أن يُعرِض عمّا لا يحتاج إليه ولا ينتفع به، فضلًا عمَّا يضرّه ويؤذيه. حذَرُ الإنسان أن يتطفّل في شؤون غيره من غير مبرّر شرعيّ (كالنصيحة والنهي عن المنكر) هو من كمال الاستقامة.
A person should occupy himself with what benefits his worldly and religious affairs. It is a sign of a person's perfection that he turns away from what he does not need and what does not benefit him, let alone what harms and hurts him. A person's caution against meddling in the affairs of others without a legitimate justification (such as sincere advice and forbidding wrong) is a sign of complete uprightness.
