Continuation of the Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 6493 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Do you know
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلَاءُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : تَدْرُونَ مَا الْغِيبَةُ ؟ قَالُوا : اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ ، قِيلَ : فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِي مَا أَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ : إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know what backbiting (ghibah) is?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is your mentioning your brother in a way that he dislikes." It was said: "Tell me, what if the fault I mention is actually in my brother (is it still backbiting)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If what you say is in him, then you have certainly backbitten him; and if it is not in him, then you have slandered him."
