َََِۡBackbiting – A Cancer in our Society 93Blessed Prophet صَ‏ َّ! االلهُ‏ تَعَالىٰ‏ ‏َلَيْهِ‏ وَاٰلِهٖ‏ وَسَلَّم talked about disease and said: After a believer falls sickand then recovers, his ailment becomes atonement for his sins and a lesson for him forthe future. Whereas, if a hypocrite falls sick and then recovers, his example is that of acamel who was tied by its owner and then set free. It neither knew why it was tied norwhy was it let loose. One man asked, ‘Yā Rasūlallāĥ! What is sickness? I have nevergotten sick.’ He صَ‏ َّ! االلهُ‏ تَعَالىٰ‏ ‏َلَيْهِ‏ وَاٰلِهٖ‏ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘Get up from our company. You are not from us.’(Sunan Abī Dāwūd, vol. 3, pp. 245, Ḥadīš 3089)Mayn apnay Khaīr-ul-Warā kay ṣadaqay, mayn un kī shān-e-‘aṭā kay ṣadaqayBĥarā ĥay ‘aybaun say mayrā dāman, Ḥuḍūr pĥir bĥī nibĥā raĥay ĥaynI am indebted to the Prophet, astonished by his majestyMy record is laden with sin; still he cares for meY َ ُa ٰ َ< ٰ MَاJY َ ُa ٰ َ< ٰ Mَََُ ا‎J K L َُِfۡeَۡOَُ ا‎J K L َ2 ِbا اMِ‎ َ ا‎Jاۡ2ِbَ َ اZ‏ۡ‏َL ۡ ‏^[ا
