An-Namima is one of the great sins. [It means to go about with calumnies (the conveyance of disagreeable false information from one person to another to create hostility between them)].

6055. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās: Once, the Prophet ﷺ went through the graveyards of Al-Madina and heard the voices of two persons who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet ﷺ said, "They are being tortured (in punishment), but they are not being punished because of a major sin, yet their sins are great : One of them used not to save himself from (being soiled with) the urine, and the other used to go about with Namīma (calumnies)." Then the Prophet ﷺ asked for a green palm-tree branch and split it into two pieces and placed one piece on each grave, saying, "I hope that their torture (punishment) might be lessened, till these (green branches) get dried."(1)

6055 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ بَعْضِ حِيطَانِ المَدِينَةِ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانَيْنِ يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي قُبُورِهِمَا، فَقَالَ: «يُعَذَّبَانِ، وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ، وَإِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرٌ، كَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا لاَ يَسْتَتِرُ مِنَ البَوْلِ، وَكَانَ الآخَرُ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ» ثُمَّ دَعَا بِجَرِيدَةٍ فَكَسَرَهَا بِكِسْرَتَيْنِ أَوْ ثِنْتَيْنِ، فَجَعَلَ كِسْرَةً فِي قَبْرِ هَذَا، وَكِسْرَةً فِي قَبْرِ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: «لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا»
