an-Nameemah - You must know not to cause hatred between Muslims. Allah says,
“Behold, you received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things of which you had no knowledge; and you thought it to be a light matter, while it was most serious in the sight of Allah.” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Noor, 24: 15
al-Mughirah ibn Shu’bah (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said,
“Allah has forbidden upon you to dishonour you parents, to take without right and give what is not allowed, and to bury your children. And disliked for you to gossip, and to ask a lot about something that is not benefiting you, and to waste your money.” Saheeh al-Bukhari, Hadith no. 5975 and Saheeh al-Muslim, Hadith no. 593 and Musnad Imam Ahmad, Hadith no. 1781
Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra) narrated that the Messenger Muhammad (saw) said,
“Whoever spreads news from one to one to you (i.e. al-Nameemah) – he spreads news from one to one about you” Sunan Abu Dawood
Ibn Ayyash narrated that the Prophet (saw) went through the graveyards of Madinah and he heard the voices of two men being punished in their graves. The Prophet (saw) said,
“They are not being punished for Kabaa’ir (major sins) but their sins are very big. One of them used not to save himself (clean himself) from urine and the other used to walk around with Nameemah (calumnies).” Saheeh al-Bukhari
