1988. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Beware of Zann (suspicion), for indeed Zann is the falsest of speech." (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
[He said:] I heard 'Abd bin Ḥumaid mentioning from some of the companions of Sufyān that Sufyān said: "Zann is of two kinds: There is the sinful Zann and the Zann that is not sinful. As for the Zann that is a sin, it is to suspect something and then to talk about it. And the Zann that is not sinful is the one that one suspects but does not talk about."

Commentary
Attributing false things to a person is a too well-known evil, but the evil of bad suspicion against someone is often taken too lightly, although it has much more potential for harm.
