Prohibition of Calumny
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
A slanderer, going about with calumnies.
'' (68:11)
"
Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it)
.'' (50:18)

Hudhaifah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
The person who
goes about with calumnies will never enter Jannah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
A person who thinks that talebearing is lawful, and practices it to create conflict and quarrel among
people despite the fact that he knows it is unanimously forbidden, will never go to Jannah. A person who considers
it unlawful but does it out of sheer human weakness, will in the first instance go to Hell, if Allah does not pardon
him for it. He will then be shifted to Jannah after suffering punishment for it.

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed by two graves
and said, "
Both of them (the persons in these graves) are being tortured, and they are not being tortured for a
cardinal sin. But indeed they are great sins. One of them used not to save himself from being soiled with his urine,
and the other one used to go about with calumnies (among the people to rouse hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person
and tells him that so-and-so says about him such and such evil things)
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
1. "
La yastatiru min baulihi
'' has another meaning, namely: "
he does not pass urine in privacy but does it
shamelessly in the presence of other people
.'' Obviously shamelessness is also a sin. Talebearing, carelessness in
saving oneself from splash of urine drops, and lack of observance of privacy are sins which are liable to punishment.
2. The Hadith also proves punishment in the grave.

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
Shall I tell you what `Al-
`Adhu' (falsehood and slandering) is? It is calumny which is committed among the people
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that calumny, lying, falsehood and slandering are major sins because they
cause conflict and dissension in society. A Muslim must keep himself free from such evils.
