by 'Alī Abd-ur-Rahmān al-Hudhaifī Backbiting is so widespread that it has become the topic of peoples meetings and an avenue for expressing their anger, misgivings and jealousy with those who indulge in backbiting believing that they are hiding their own imperfections and harming others. They are oblivious of the fact that they are only harming themselves...Friday Sermon from the Prophet's Mosque in Madina, on 5th Jumaadath-Thaaniyah 1422AH:
The Mother of the Belivers, Sayyida `A'isha said (Allah be pleased with her):
"Cease to sin, because you will not meet Allah with anything [as
valuable] as few sins."
[Musannaf [8.192-194]of Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba]
