حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِشَامٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا يُبَلِّغُنِي أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ شَيْئًا " . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .

Benefits and Issues:
When a person hears something wrong about someone, whether close or distant, he cannot remain unaffected by it. Even if he does not express it through words or actions, its effect is certainly felt in the heart. Therefore, without a valid reason, one should not mention someone’s wrongdoing in front of others. However, if there is a legitimate Shar‘i (Islamic legal) need—for example, if the intention is to advise and reform that person through an intermediary, or to warn someone—then it is permissible. Or if the person is extremely sinful (fasiq), wicked (fajir), or oppressive (zalim).
In the Noble Qur’an, Allah the Exalted says: (لَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلَّا مَنْ ظُلِمَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا) “Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged, and Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” () (An-Nisa: 148)
The scholars of ethics write that a person who comments on others and conveys their words in your presence is, in all likelihood, also speaking about you in front of others. Therefore, one should not encourage this habit in such a person.
