~ Backbiting ~
(Gheebah)
( In the Light of Qur'an and Hadith )
Allah Subhanu Wa Ta'ala Says,
{ Al-Qur'an: Surah-49 ~Hujurat ~ Ayah-12 }
Interpretation of meaning in English:
(Recite)
O ye who believe!
Avoid suspicion as much (as possible):
for suspicion in some cases is a sin:
And spy not on each other behind their backs.
Would any of you like
to eat the flesh of his dead brother?
Nay, ye would abhor it...
(so abhore the backbiting)
But fear Allah.
For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
Interpretation of meaning in Roman Urdu:
Aae imaan walon!
Shak aur shubhaat se
jiss qadar mumkin ho bacho;
kiyonke shubhaat kuch halaton mein
gunaah hote hain:
aur ek doosre ki jasoosi
unnke peeth peeche na kiya karo.
Kiya tum mein se koyee
apne murdah bhai ka
ghost khana pasand karega?
Bilkul nahi,
tum sub intehayi na-pasand karo ge
(iss liye Gheebat ko bhi intihaayi na-pasand karo)
aur Allah se daro,
Allah 'Tauba qubool karne waale'
aur 'Rahem karne waale' hain.

Hadith
Difference between
'Slandering' and 'Backbiting'
Aboo Hurayrah (RadiAllahu anhu) narrated that
the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa'sallam) said,
"Do you know what backbiting is?"
They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best."
He (Sallallahu alaihi wa'sallam) then said,
"It is to say something about your brother
that he would dislike."
Someone asked him,
"But what if what I say is true?"
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa'sallam) said,
"If what you say about him is true,
you are backbiting him,
but if it is not true
then you have slandered him."
(Muslim)
