Disrespect
Hadith: 1
«عن ابن عباس قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليس منا من لم يرحم صغيرنا ولم يوقر كبيرنا ويأمر بالمعروف وينه عن المنكر»
Imam Tirmidhi has classified it as Hasan Gharib.
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “He is not one of us who does not have mercy on our young ones, does not respect our elders, does not enjoin good, and does not forbid evil.”
Backbiting
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ﴾
Allah Almighty says: “O you who have believed! Avoid much suspicion, indeed some suspicion is sin, and do not spy or backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.”
Hadith: 2
«وعن أنس بن مالك قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لما عرج بي مررت بقوم لهم أظفار من نحاس يخمشون وجوههم وصدورهم فقلت من هؤلاء يا جبريل قال هؤلاء الذين يأكلون لحوم الناس ويقعون فى أعراضهم»
And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (RA) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “On the night of Mi’raj, I passed by people whose nails were made of copper, and they were scratching their faces and chests. I asked Jibreel (AS), ‘Who are these people?’ He said, ‘These are the people who used to eat the flesh of others and violate their honor.'”
Lies
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ﴾
Allah Almighty said: “Indeed, Allah does not guide the one who is a great liar and transgressor.”
Hadith: 3
«وعن بهز بن حكيم قال حدثني أبى عن أبيه قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول ويل للذي يحدث فيكذب ليضحك به القوم ويل له ويل له»
“And Bahz bin Hakim says that my father (Hakim, may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from his father (Muawiyah bin Haidah Qushairi, may Allah be pleased with him), who said that I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Destruction is for the one who lies with the intention that people may laugh because of it. Destruction is for him! Destruction is for him!”
Finding Fault
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ﴾
Allah Almighty said: “O you who have believed! Avoid much suspicion, indeed some suspicion is sin, and do not spy or backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is accepting of repentance and Merciful.”
Hadith: 4
«وعن أبى برزة الأسلمي قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يا معشر من آمن بلسانه ولم يدخل الإيمان قلبه لا تغتابوا المسلمين ولا تتبعوا عوراتهم فإنه من اتبع عوراتهم يتبع الله عورته ومن يتبع الله عورته يفضحه فى بيته»
Muhaddith Albani, may Allah have mercy on him, has declared it Hasan.
“And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burzah Aslami, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: O you who have believed with your tongues but whose faith has not entered your hearts! Do not backbite the Muslims nor pursue their faults. Indeed, whoever pursues their faults, Allah will pursue his faults, and whoever Allah pursues, He will disgrace him in his own home.”
Arrogance
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ ۖ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا ۖ وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ ۚ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ﴾
Allah Almighty said: “Know that the life of this world is indeed play, amusement, adornment, mutual boasting among yourselves, and multiplying wealth and children. Its example is like the rain by which the vegetation grows pleasing to the tillers; then it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes scattered debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment for the disbelievers and forgiveness from Allah and pleasure for the righteous. And the life of this world is nothing but deception.”
Hadith: 5
«وعن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إن الله عز وجل قد أذهب عنكم عبية الجاهلية وفخرها بالآباء مؤمن تقي وفاجر شقي أنتم بنو آدم وآدم من تراب ليدعن رجال فخرهم بأقوام إنما هم فحم من فحم جهنم أو ليكونن أهون على الله من الجعلان التى تدفع بأنفها النتن»
Muhaddith al-Albani, may Allah have mercy on him, graded it as Hasan.
And Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has removed from you the pride of ignorance and boasting about ancestry. (There are two types of people): the believer, the pious, or the sinner and the unfortunate. You are all the children of Adam, and Adam was made from dust. People must abandon tribal pride, for they have become coals of Hell due to disbelief and polytheism; otherwise, those who are arrogant about their tribe would be more contemptible before Allah than the filth-eating worm that pushes filth with its nose.”
Deception
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ﴾

And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever takes up arms against us is not one of us, and whoever deceives the Muslims is not one of us.”
Enmity
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ ۚ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ﴾
Allah Almighty said: “O you who have believed! Do not take as intimates those other than yourselves; they will spare no effort to harm you. They wish you to suffer hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you understand.”
Hadith: 7
«وعن أبى هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال تفتح أبواب الجنة يوم الإثنين ويوم الخميس فيغفر لكل عبد لا يشرك بالله شيئا إلا رجلا كانت بينه وبين أخيه شحناء فيقال انظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا انظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا انظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا»
“And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On Mondays and Thursdays, the gates of Paradise are opened, and all those who do not associate anyone with Allah are forgiven. However, two persons who hold enmity against each other are not forgiven; the command is given to grant them respite until they reconcile, grant them respite until they reconcile, grant them respite until they reconcile.”
Relaying Heard Information
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ﴾
Allah Almighty said: “O you who have believed! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and afterward become regretful for what you have done.”
Hadith: 8
«وعن أبى هريرة عن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم قال كفى بالمرء كذبا أن يحدث بكل ما سمع»
“And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: It is sufficient for a man to be considered a liar that he narrates everything he hears.”
Abusive Language

«وعن عبد الله بن عمرو أن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم قال أربع من كن فيه كان منافقا خالصا ومن كانت فيه خصلة منهن كانت فيه خصلة من النفاق حتى يدعها إذا اؤتمن خان وإذا حدث كذب وإذا عاهد غدر وإذا خاصم فجر»
“And Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Whoever has four characteristics is a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of these traits has a sign of hypocrisy until he abandons it. When entrusted with something, he betrays; when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he argues, he uses abusive language.”
Betrayal
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ﴾

Falling into Doubts and Suspicions
Hadith: 11
«وعن أبى الحوراء السعدي قال قلت للحسن بن على ما حفظت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال حفظت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دع ما يريبك إلى ما لا يريبك فإن الصدق طمأنينة وإن الكذب ريبة»
Muhaddith al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) has declared it authentic.
“And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Hawra al-Sa’di (may Allah have mercy on him) that I asked Sayyiduna Hasan ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with both of them) what he remembered from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)? He said: I have memorized these words from the sacred tongue of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): ‘Leave that which makes you doubtful for that which does not make you doubtful. Verily, truth brings tranquility, and falsehood brings doubt and anxiety.'”
Suspicion
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ﴾
Allah Almighty said: “O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.”
Hadith: 12
«وعن أبى هريرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إياكم والظن فإن الظن أكذب الحديث ولا تحسسوا ولا تجسسوا ولا تناجشوا ولا تحاسدوا ولا تباغضوا ولا تدابروا وكونوا عباد الله إخوانا وفي رواية ولا تنافسوا»
“It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Avoid suspicion, for suspicion is the greatest falsehood. Do not search for faults in others, do not spy, do not deceive, do not envy, do not harbor hatred, and do not hold enmity. O servants of Allah! Live as brothers. And in one narration: do not vie with one another (for worldly things).”
Unjust Anger
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿وَالَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ﴾

Miserliness
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ. وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ . فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ . وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ .﴾
Allah Almighty said: “And whoever is stingy and considers himself free of need from Allah, and denies the best reward from Him, We will soon make the path of hardship easy for him. And his wealth will not avail him when he falls (into ruin).”
Hadith: 14
«وعن جابر بن عبد الله أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال اتقوا الظلم فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة واتقوا الشح فإن الشح أهلك من كان قبلكم حملهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم واستحلوا محارمهم»
“And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah رضي الله عنهما that the Prophet Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: Avoid oppression, for oppression will be a cause of darkness on the Day of Resurrection. Avoid stinginess and greed, for they destroyed the people before you. They shed each other’s blood and considered forbidden things lawful.”
Dancing and Singing
قال الله تعاليٰ: ﴿وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ ۔ وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا وَلَّىٰ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَأَنَّ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًا ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ۔﴾
Allah Almighty said: “And among the people is he who buys idle talk to mislead others from the way of Allah without knowledge, and to make a mockery of it. For such there will be a humiliating punishment. And when Our verses are recited to him, he turns away arrogantly as if he had not heard them, as if there were deafness in his ears. So give him tidings of a painful punishment.”

Slandering

“And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Do you know what backbiting is?

It was asked: What if my brother actually has that attribute which I mention? He (peace be upon him) said: If he has that attribute, then you have backbitten him, and if he does not have that attribute which you mentioned, then you have slandered him.”

Gathering of Idle and Frivolous Speech and Actions

Similarly, a person may say something that displeases Allah, and he does not even realize its severity, but because of that one statement, Allah remains displeased with him until the Day of Judgment.'”
Flattery

Describe their characteristics so that we do not become among them without realizing it.” He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “They will be your brothers, from your families and tribes, just as you worship at night, they will also worship, but when they are alone, they will commit acts forbidden by Allah.”
