Abu Hurairah narrated that it was said: O Messenger of Allah! What is backbiting? He said : Mentioning your brother with that which he does not like. He said What if what I said about him is so? He said: If what you said about him is so, then you have backbitten him, and if it is not as you said, then you have slandered him.
