حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ: مَا الْغِيبَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ، قَالَ: أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِي مَا أَقُولُ - أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِيكَ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ
