وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَضْهُ؟“ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: ”نَقْلُ الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ بَعْضِ النَّاسِ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، لِيُفْسِدُوا بَيْنَهُمْ.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what tale-bearing and the thing that cuts (relationships) is?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is conveying people's words to one another in order to cause discord."
