NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE

***** NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE

The motive in spreading gossip is either ill will towards the person of whom one speaks or to show love to the person to whom one speaks, or to indulge in unnecessary talk and falsehood. All of that is haraam.

There is a great deal of evidence in the Quran and Sunnah (prophetic traditions) to show that gossip is haraam (impermissible), such as the verses in which Allah says:

وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّاءٍ بِنَمِيمٍ

“And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer. [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -”

[Al-Qalam 68:10,11]

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ

“Woe to every scorner and mocker”

[Al-Humazah 104:1]

It was narrated that Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

لا يدخل الجنة نمَّام
“No gossipmonger will enter Paradise”

[Agreed upon Hadith by Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

And it was narrated from Ibn Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

ألا أنبئكم ما العَضْهُ ؟ هي النميمة ، القالة بين الناس

“Shall I not tell you what is falsehood? It is nameemah (gossip), transmitting what people say.”

[Muslim].

Allaah has no need of them so do not sit with them.’” [Al-Haakim reported in al-Mustadrak (4/359) . This is a saheeh hadeeth.

Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith

*****Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith: n The form of feelings in the heart n The form of actions of the heart, n Spoken words on the tongue n And outward physical actions The form of feelings in the heart, such as hating Allaah or His signs, or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); this contradicts love and faith which support the actions of the heart. The form of spoken words, such as insulting Allaah, or it may be an outward action, such as prostrating to idols, or offering sacrifices to someone other than Allaah. Just as faith takes the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions, so too kufr may take the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions.

A’laam al-Sunnah al-Manshoorah, 177; Nawaaqid al-Eemaan al-Qawliyyah wa’l-‘Amaliyyah by Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal ‘Abd al-Lateef, 36-46; Dawaabit al-Takfeer by Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah al-Qarani, 183, 196].
