The Prohibition of Backbiting and the Commandment of Guarding one's Tongue
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And backbite not one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful." (49:12)
"And follow not (O man, i.e., say not or do not or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allah)." (17:36)
"Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it)." (50:18)
