1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,589
Allah the Exalted says:

2
00:00:02,589 --> 00:00:08,589
And do not obey every habitual swearer, who is contemptible,

3
00:00:08,589 --> 00:00:16,589
A slanderer, going about with malicious gossip.

4
00:00:16,589 --> 00:00:24,550
Namimah (malicious gossip) is the act of conveying people’s words to one another with the intent of causing discord.

5
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:27,550
It is one of the major sins.

6
00:00:27,550 --> 00:00:30,710
On the authority of Hudhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him,

7
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:33,710
From the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said:

8
00:00:33,710 --> 00:00:36,710
"The slanderer shall not enter Paradise."

9
00:00:36,710 --> 00:00:39,710
And on the authority of Asma' bint Yazid,

10
00:00:39,710 --> 00:00:43,710
That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

11
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,710
"The worst of Allah’s servants

12
00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:48,710
Are those who go about with malicious gossip,

13
00:00:48,710 --> 00:00:51,710
Who sow discord between those who love one another."
