1453. BACKBITING AND FAITH

4903.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : الغِيبَةُ أسرَعُ في دِينِ الرجُلِ المُسلمِ مِن الآكِلَةِ في جَوفِهِ .1

4903.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Backbiting eats away at a Muslim man’s faith faster than a gangrenous sore can eat away to the inside.’2

4904.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَنِ اغتابَ مُسلِماً أو مُسلمَةً لم يَقبَلِ اللَّهُ صَلاتَهُ ولاصيامَهُ أربَعينَ يَوماً ولَيلةً ، إلّا أن يَغفِرَ لَهُ صاحِبُهُ .3

4904.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Whoever backbites a fellow Muslim man or woman, Allah neither accepts his prayer nor his fasting for forty days and nights, until and unless the victim of his backbiting forgives him.’4

4905.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : يُؤتى‏ بأحَدٍ يَومَ القِيامَةِ يُوقَفُ بينَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ ويُدفَعُ إلَيهِ كتابُهُ فلا يَرى‏ حَسَناتِهِ ، فيقولُ : إلهي ، ليسَ هذا كتابِي ! فإنّي لا أرى‏ فيها طاعَتي ؟ ! فيقالُ لَهُ : إنّ رَبَّكَ لايَضِلُّ ولايَنسى‏ ، ذَهَبَ عَمَلُكَ بِاغتِيابِ الناسِ . ثُمّ يُؤتى‏ بآخَرَ ويُدفَعُ إلَيهِ كتابُهُ فَيَرى‏ فيهِ طاعاتٍ كثيرَةً ، فيقولُ : إلهي ، ما هذا كتابِي ! فإنّي ما عَمِلتُ هذهِ الطَّاعاتِ ! فيقالُ : لأنَّ فلاناً اغتابَكَ فَدُفِعَت حَسَناتُهُ إلَيكَ .5

4905.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘On the Day of Resurrection, a man will be brought forth to stand before Allah, and his book of deeds will be presented to him, and he will not see any of his good deeds therein, upon which he will exclaim, ‘My God, this is not my book! For verily I do not see any of my acts of obedience therein?!’ So he will be told, ‘Verily your Lord neither loses nor forgets [deeds], but your deeds have gone because of your backbiting people.’ Then another man will be brought forth, and will be presented his book of deeds, and he will see many acts of obedience recorded therein, and will exclaim, ‘My God, this is not my book! For verily I did not perform all these acts of obedience!’ and he will be told, ‘It is because so and so backbit you, so his deeds have been transferred to you.’6
