Backbiting – Gheebat – Gheebah

QURAN 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.

QURAN Urdu

Aaye imaan Walo !

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 Me Se Koi

Apne Murdah Bhai Ka

Gosht Khana Pasand Karega ?

Bilkul Nahi,

Tum Sub intehayi Na-Pasand Karoge

(iss liye Gheebat ko bhi intihaayi na-pasand karo)

Aur Allah Se Daro,

Allah 'Tauba Qubool Karne Waale'

Aur 'Rahem Karne Waale' Hain.

Hadith English

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

Hadith Urdu

Anas (RadiAllahu anhu) Ne Riwayat Kiya Ke

Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wa'sallam) Ne Farmaaya :

" Jab Mein Jannat Mein Utaara Gaya

Toh Mein Aaise Logon Ke Paas Se Guzra

Jin Ke Paas Taambe Ke NaaQun The

Jiss Se Unhon Ne Apne Chehre Aur Seene Ko

Kharonch Rakha Tha.

Main Ne Jibra'il (Alaihissalaam) Se Daryaft Kiya :

" O ! Jibra'il! Ye Koun Log Hain ? "

Unho Ne Farmaya :

" Yeh Woh Log Hain

Jo Doosre Logon Ka Gosht 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."
