23:110 – "But ye treated them with ridicule so much so that (ridicule of) them made you forget My
Message while ye were laughing at them! 2947
2947 Literally, 'they made you forget My Message'. The ungodly were so occupied in the backbiting and ridicule of the godly
that the godly themselves became the unconscious cause of the ungodly forgetting the warnings declared by Allah
against those who do not treat His Signs seriously. Thus evil often brings about its own ruin through the
instrumentality of those whom it would make its victims. (23.110)
Sahih Muslim Hadith
Hadith 6265
AbuHurayrah
Narrated by
Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said: Do you know what is backbiting? They (the Companions) said: Allah and His
Apostle (peace be upon him) know best. Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Backbiting implies your talking about your brother
in a manner which he does not like. It was said to him: What is your opinion about this that if I actually find (that failing) in my
brother which I made a mention of? He said: If (that failing) is actually found (in him) what you assert, you in fact backbited
him, and if that is not in him it is a slander.

Atonement for Backbiting
It is related that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "The atonement for backbiting [and slander] is to pray for forgiveness
of the person who was slandered and to say, 'O Allah, forgive us and him'."
The preferable course in this regard is to pray for forgiveness of the person who was the target of the slander and to mention
his good qualities. This will wipe off the effects of such backbiting, and it is not necessary to announce such a thing.
Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 56.10
Backbiting
Malik related to me from al-Walid ibn Abdullah ibn Sayyad that al-Muttalib ibn Abdullah ibn Hantab al-Makhzumi informed him
that a man asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "What is backbiting?" The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It is to mention about a man what he does not want to hear." He said,
"Messenger of Allah! Even if it is true?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If you utter
something false, then it is slander."
