Hunting for Mistakes Part 2 Out of 4 (Shaykh Abdul Aziz-Bin Baz)

[shaykha]

The Muslim Does Not Fall Into Backbiting

From Ibn 'Umar (radiyAllâhu 'anhumaa) who said that Allâh's Messenger (salAllâhu 'alaihi wa'sallam) said:

".....Whoever accuses a believer of something that is untrue then Allâh will make him dwell in the pus flowing from the inhabitants of the Fire and he will not leaver until he retracts from what he said."

So the true Muslim does not backbite, nor does he allow backbiting to take place in his presence.

So he halts at his limits and does not exceed and pass beyond them.

[shaykha]

He knows that prying into that which does not concern him and asking about it is not fitting for him. Rather it is forbidden for him and something he has to avoid. So he complies with Allâh's orders and keeps away from what he has forbidden, since ALL of his actions are for the sake of Allah :)

I really love this short article. For some strange reason it keeps getting rated low.

Hmm. Insha'Allah if you don't mind I'm going to make a vid. out of this article, and make this part highlighted.

Looking forward to third and fourth videos

I hope the people who have fallen into this deviation repent and return to Allah, because their fitnah is spreading worldwide, and at the same time they are pleased with their deeds (of ruining people's reputations and lives) may Allah guide them to the truth, ameen

May Allah reward you for the video, ameen :)
