Prohibition of Listening to Backbiting
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
And when they hear Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) they withdraw from it.
'' (28:55)
"
And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allah has
forbidden)
.'' (23:3)
"
Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allah).
'' (17:36)
"
And when you (Muhammad (PBUH)) see those who engage in a false conversation about Our Verses (of the
Qur'an) by mocking at them, stay away from them till they turn to another topic. And if Shaitan (Satan)
causes you to forget, then after the remembrance sit not you in the company of those people who are the
Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers).

Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
He who defends the honour
of his (Muslim) brother, Allah will secure his face against the Fire on the Day of Resurrection
.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
If someone says something disgraceful against a Muslim, one must defend his Muslim brother (or
sister, for that matter) and say that what has been stated about him or her is wrong and that he (or she) is free from
the accusation made against him (or her).

`Itban bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said in his long Hadith cited in the Chapter entitled `Hope'
reported: When the Prophet (PBUH) stood up to offer As-Salat (the prayer) he asked, "Where is Malik bin Ad-
Dukhshum?'' A man replied: "He is a hypocrite. He does not love Allah and His Messenger.'' The Prophet (PBUH)
said, "
Do not say that. Do you not know that he said: La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah),' seeking
His Pleasure. Allah has made the fire of Hell unlawful for him who affirms that none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Allah has made the fire of Hell unlawful
'' means that a Muslim will not abide in Hell for ever. The
reason is that if a Muslim has committed some major sin and Allah has not pardoned it, then he will certainly suffer
its punishment in Hell. He will stay there as long as Allah will. However, he will be later on shifted to Jannah. This
Hadith also leads us to the conclusion that the backbiting of a Muslim is forbidden. See the explanation of this
Hadith under Hadith No. 418.
