وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ يَقُولُ:
« الْغِيبَةُ أَنْ تَذْكُرَ مِنْ أَخِيكَ أَسْوَأَ مَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ، فَإِذَا ذَكَرْتَ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ، فَذَلِكَ الْبُهْتَانُ

✧ Backbiting is that you mention about your brother the worst of what you know in him; if you mention what is not in him, that is slander.
