Sunan Abi Dawud, 4874

Abu Hurairah said:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked: Messenger of Allah! What is back-biting? He replied: It is saying something about your brother which he would dislike. He was asked again: Tell me how the matter stands if what I say about my brother is true? He replied: If what you say of him is true, you have slandered him, and if what you say of him is not true, you have reviled him

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه a dit : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a été interrogé : « Messager d’Allah ! Qu’est-ce que la médisance ? » Il a répondu : « C’est dire quelque chose sur ton frère qu’il n’aimerait pas. » On lui a demandé : « Et si ce que je dis sur mon frère est vrai ? » Il a répondu : « Si ce que tu dis est vrai, tu as médit de lui, et si ce n’est pas vrai, tu l’as calomnié. »
