Back biting is as evil element and a door to arousing sedition. It unveils ignobility and villainy.
Reality of Back biting:
Back biting stands for informing others of the ill wording that is said about them. It is a sort of divulging the secrets and exposing the screens. It comprises the conveyed words and deeds, whether they were acceptable or unacceptable. In other words, back biting stands for the broadcasting of any kept secret affair.
Censure of back biting:
The holy Quran censures the malevolent quality of back biting. Allah says:
And yield not to any mean swearer, defamer, going about in slander. Woe to every slander, defamer.
The Prophet (s) said, “The most beloved of you to Allah are the best of moralities and the modest.
They are those who like others’ company and others like them. The most hateful of you to Allah are those going in slander, driving wedges between the associates, and searching for the innocents’ flaws.”. “For those who refer to a Muslim’s flaw for back biting, they will be in the hell-fire in the Hereafter.”.
Imam al-Baqir (a) said, “The Paradise is interdicted from the backbiters and those going about in slander.”.
Imam as-Sadiq (a) said, “Those who convey a deed of a Muslim for the purpose of debasing and dishonoring, Allah will dismiss them from His guardianship to the Satan’s. The Satan will reject them, too.”.
Incentives of back biting:
- The will of stirring up discord, evil, and malice against the slandered causes back biting.
- The will of approximating and favoring those about whom a word was said, for obtaining their confidence, is another incentive of back biting.
- The will of rupturing relations and creating sedition between the slanderer and the slandered is another incentive of back biting.
Protection against back biting:
- A deliberate consideration of the sedition and the evil that is created from back biting may save against adhering to it. Back biting is a means of destroying and corruption that is possessed only by the faithless.
- Looking upon the chastisement that Allah will subject upon the tattlers, whose deeds reach to no profit at all, may remove this ill quality.
- Tattlers should regard that their deeds debase them, and make people distrust and belie them.
