hadith 358

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “God the Almighty has made seven rights for each believer incumbent upon any other believer: “(1) He must honor him in his view. (2) He must love him wholeheartedly. (3) He must help him. (4) He should consider gossiping behind him to be divinely forbidden. (5) He should visit him when he gets ill. (6) He should attend and escort his funeral procession. (7) He should only speak good of him after his death.”

قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): للمؤمن على المؤمن سبعة حقوق واجبة من الله تعالى: الإجلال له في عينه، والود له في صدره، والمواساة له في ماله، وأن يحرم غيبته، وأن يعوده في مرضه، وأن يشيع جنازته، وأن لا يقول فيه بعد موته إلا خيرا.

hadith 395

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whoever says something about his believing brother with the intention of belittling him and damaging his honor and respect in the eyes of the people, God the Almighty will force him away from God's friendship, and push him into the domain of friendship with Satan.”

وعنه (عليه السلام) قال

من روى على أخيه المؤمن رواية يريد بها شينه وهدم مروته ليسقطه من أعين الناس أخرجه الله عز وجل من ولايته إلى ولاية الشيطان.

hadith 425

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Whenever you gossip behind a believer's back and accuse him of what is not true about him, the sincerity between you and him will be lost, and one who gossips will dwell in the Fire (of Hell) forever. What a terrible punishment!”

وقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من اغتاب مؤمنا بما ليس فيه انقطعت العصمة بينهما، وكان المغتاب في النار خالدا فيها وبئس المصير.

hadith 426

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “One who thinks that he is legitimately born, but eats the people's flesh through gossiping is a liar.”

وقال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): كذب من زعم أنه ولد من حلال وهو يأكل لحوم الناس بالغيبة.

hadith 427

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “Avoid gossiping since it is meat for the stew for the dogs of the Fire (of Hell).”

وقال (عليه السلام): اجتنب الغيبة فإنها إدام كلاب النار.

hadith 428

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “Gossiping is exposing the fault of your believing brother which God has hidden. Accusing is associating a false thing with him.”

وقال الصادق (عليه السلام): من الغيبة أن تقول في أخيك ما ستره الله عليه، ومن البهتان أن تقول في أخيك ما ليس فيه.

hadith 431

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)

“Whoever possesses at least one or all of the following traits shall be protected by the shade of God's Throne on the day in which there is no other shade but His: He treats others as he expects to be treated. He does not do anything unless he evaluates himself whether this will please God or raise His anger. He does not blame his Muslim brother for what he has not corrected in himself. Whoever tries to improve himself will never have a chance to seek out the flaws of other people, because once he improves himself and corrects one flaw, he will discover another one in himself.”

عن الصادق (عليه السلام) قال

قال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): ثلاث خصال من كن فيه أو واحدة منهن كان في ظل عرش الله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله: رجل أعطى الناس من نفسه ما هو سائلهم لها، ورجل لم يقدم رجلا ولم يؤخر أخرى حتى يعلم أن ذلك لله فيه رضا أو سخط، ورجل لم يعب أخاه المسلم بعيب حتى ينفي ذلك العيب عن نفسه فإنه لا ينفي منها عيبا إلا بدا له عيب، وكفى بالمرء شغلا بنفسه عن الناس.
