From Anas ibn Malik radhiyallah hu ‘anhu who said that Allah’s Messenger, Muhammad pbuh said:
”Do you know what calumny (al-‘Adh) is? They said: Allah and His Messenger knows best.
He pbuh said: Conveying the words of some people to others in order to create mischief between them”
Hadith narrated by al-Bukhari
Tale-carrying is a foul disease; when it enters the heart it corrupts it, and when the heart is corrupt the rest of the body becomes corrupt and one’s actions are destroyed. How many people there are today whose evil actions have been made alluring to them by their devils, so that they think that their deeds are good and free from blemish! How many there are today who think that tale-carrying is a good deed and righteous action which they are carrying out! However these people who circulate amongst the servants of Allah, the One free and far removed from all imperfections, spreading mischief, falsehood and leading hearts astray, then the sincere Muslim should not give them any chance to operate but should rather turn away from them and eep away from them! This is the least punishment that is possible for these people!
This sickness of tale-carrying only finds a place in hearts which are filled with love of this world, the hearts of those who use the Religion for lowly and despicable ends, and we seek Allah’s refuge from that! However, as for the sincere Muslim who strives to follow and apply the guidance sent by his Lord, then: He is not Attached to this World
