{ 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 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

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."

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."

(Muslim)

غیبت کی ایک وجہ منافقت بھی ہوتی ہے - کہ لوگ منہ پہ کچھہ کہتے ہیں اور پیچھے کچھہ

It is the right of a Muslim to speak up and oppose Gheebah made against his brother Muslim. He should protect his brother's honor and defend his reputation in his absence. Should a person fall short in fulfilling this right, he will be punished sooner or later. To defend your brother against Gheebah is not something minor. There are clear and sound Daleels (evidence) that tell us of the virtue of one who fulfills this obligation. Asmaa' Bint Yazeed said that Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: "Whoever defends the honor of his brother in his absence, will be entitled to Allah's protection from the Fire." (Related by Ahmad) The Prophet (pbuh) is also reported to have said: "Whoever defends the honor of his brother, Allah will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection." (Related by Ahmad and Tirmidhi)

The person who listens to Gheebah is also a sinner unless he opposes with his tongue or with his heart if he fears harm. If he can leave the gathering or interrupt and change the subject, then he should do so. If he says to the Mughtaab, 'be quiet' but he relishes the gossip in his heart, then such is hypocrisy. He will not be excused unless he rejects the gossip with his heart. One should take it seriously and defend his brethren quite explicitly. The Prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said: "Whoever witnesses the humiliation of a believer and doesn't support him while being capable of supporting him, Allah will humiliate him before all the creatures (on the Day of Judgment)." (Related by Ahmad). Let not the Mughtaab pollute your gatherings and dishonor the Muslims. You should defend the honor of the Muslims. If you do not do so, you may be absent one day and this Mughtaab will be eating of your flesh and you may not find anyone protecting your honor.
