~ 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:

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.

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

Anas (RadiAllahu anhu) narrated that the
Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa'sallam) said,


"When I was ascended to heaven,
I passed by a people who had copper nails
with which they scratched their faces and chests,

and I said, "O Jibreel, who are these?'

He said,
"These are those who used to eat
other people's flesh and attack their honour."

(Aboo Dawood)



Interpretation of meaning in Urdu:

Anas (RadiAllahu anhu) ne riwayat kiya ke
Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wa'sallam) ne farmaaya:

"Jab main Jannat mein utaara gaya
to main aaise logon ke paas se guzra
jin ke paas taambe ke naakhun the
jiss se unhon ne apne chehre aur seene ko
kharonch rakha tha.

Main ne Jibra'il (Aleihissalaam) se daryaft kiya:
"O! Jibra'il! yeh kaun log hain? "

Unhon ne farmaaya:
"Yeh woh log hain
jo doosre logon ka ghost khaya karte the aur
unnki izzat wa namoos pe hamla aawar hote the."

(Aboo Dawood)

Difference between
'Slandering' and 'Backbiting'


Abu 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."
