Hadith #46461
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “أتدرون ما الغيبة؟” قالوا: الله ورسوله أعلم قال: "ذكرك أخاك بما يكره" قيل: أفرأيت إن كان في أخي ما أقول؟ قال: "إن كان فيه ما تقول، فقد اغتبته، وإن لم يكن فيه ما تقول فقد بهته”. ((رواه مسلم)).
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Do you know what backbiting is?” They said: God and His Messenger know best. He said: “Your brother reminded you of something that he hates.” It was said: Have you seen if there is in my brother what I say? He said: “If he has what you say, then you have backbited him, and if he does not have what you say, then you have slandered him.” ((Narrated by Muslim)).
