Hadith 925
وَبِهَذَا، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُمْ: ((أَتَدْرُونَ مَا النَّمِيمَةُ؟)) فَقَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: ((نَقْلُ حَدِيثِ النَّاسِ بَعْضِهِمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ لِيُفْسِدَ بَيْنَهُمْ))وَقَالَ: لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَابْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا، وَلَا يَمْلَأُ نَفْسَ بَنِي آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ، وَيَعْفُوا اللَّهُ عَنْ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ".
With this (previous) chain, it is narrated from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said to them: "Do you know what «نميمة» is?" They replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is conveying people's words to others in order to create discord among them." And he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If a man had two valleys full of wealth, he would seek a third valley. Nothing will fill the belly of man except the dust (of the grave), and Allah forgives whom He wills."
