Suspicious Behaviour

Suspicious Behaviour

Contents > Islamic Personality > Suspicious Behaviour

at-Tuhmah - You must know not to be suspicious. Islam prohibits us from behaving in a suspicious manner that might lead to people doubting or suspecting us of committing sins. For this reason, many things, though originally permissible, may become prohibited in order to prevent others from doubting or backbiting you. The Prophet (saw) was walking with his wife Safiyyah bint Huyyay (ra) one day in order to escort her home as it was late in the evening when two companions passed by. The Prophet (saw) called them over and said,

“She is only Safiyyah (i.e. my wife).” The companions immediately explained that they would never have doubted the Prophet (saw) but the Prophet (saw) taught them that it is not permitted to behave in any suspicious manner and this is why he explained her identity to the companions.” Saheeh al-Bukhari
