#backbiting

[manwithtawheed]

Ghibah has become so common that people laugh and call it “spill the tea.”

But it’s not tea you’re pouring out—

it’s the dignity and honor of your brother or sister.

Al-Muḥāsibī said about backbiting: "Be cautious of it for it is the most evil of gains. What do you think of something that strips of your reward (from your righteous deeds) and gives it to your opponents? On Judgment Day, trading will not be through currency, it will be using deeds."

‎● {تلبيس إبليس صحفة ٢٠٦}

Restrain Your Tongue

And close to this is the statement of Sufyān b. al-Ḥusayn who said: I was in a gathering with Iyās b. Muʿāwiyah and I disparaged someone. وقريب من هذا قول سفيان بن الحسين، قال: كنت جالساً عند إياس بن معاوية فنلت من إنسان So he said: “You have (not) fought against the Turks, or Romans but your Muslim brother is not safe from you?” فقال: هل غزوت العام الترك والروم ولم يسلم منك أخوك المسلم Ibn Khallikān, Wafiyyāt al-ʿAyān 2/71 ابن خلكان، وفيات الأعيان ٢/٧١ https://shamela.ws/book/1000/544 Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com

people see and hear

what they want to see and hear,

if you hear stories

about someone from others

take it with a grain of salt

[writtenduas]

Don’t do loose talk Wallahi it doesn’t benefit you. If you’ve nothing to talk keep quiet , don’t pick a person and backbite them. This costs your duniya as well as Akhirah . Allah will make you to fall in the same trap to humble you. Don’t backbite don’t slander fear Allah alone.

Permissible Backbiting

ʿAbd Allah b. Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal said: Abū Turāb al-Nakhshabī came to my father, so my father began to say: “fulān ḍaʿīf, fulān thiqqah (ie: so-and-so is weak, so-and-so is reliable).” وقال أحمد بن مروان الدينوري: حدثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ: جاء أبو تُراب النَّخْشبيّ إلى أبي، فجعل يقول أبي: فلان ضعيف، فلان ثقة، So Abū Turāb said: “Do not backbite al-ʿulamāʾ (ie: the scholars) O Shaykh.” فقال أبو تراب: لا تَغْتَبِ العلماء يا شيخ، So he (ie: Imām Aḥmad) turned to him and said to him: “Woe to you, this is naṣīḥah, this is not ġībah (ie: backbiting).” فالتفَت أبي إليه وقال له: ويْحك، هذا نصيحة، ليس هذا غيبة. al-Ḏahabī, Tārīkh al-Islām 5/1181 الذهبي، تاريخ الإسلام ٥/١١٨١ https://shamela.ws/book/35100/9527 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

I don't know how to say this, but...

...It would always be the people knowing nothing about you who would talk everything about you.
