Silsilah as-Sahihah 2360 — Meaning of tale-bearing

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Indeed, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you what «عضه» is? It is carrying tales between people." And in another narration: "It is tale-carrying that causes discord among people."
