1934. Abū Hurairah narrated that it was said: "O Messenger of Allāh! What is backbiting?" He said: "Mentioning your brother with that which he does not like." He said: “What if what I said about him is so?” He ﷺ said: “If what you said about him is so, then you have backbitten him, and if it is not as you said, then you have slandered him.” (Sahih) He said: There are narrations on this topic from Abū Barzah, Ibn ‘Umar, and ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.

١٩٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنِ ‌الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: مَا الْغِيبَةُ؟ قَالَ: ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ» قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
