"O you who believe! avoid most of suspicion, for surely suspicion in some cases is a sin, and do not spy nor let some of you backbite others. Does one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? But you abhor it; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful." (Quran 49:12)

Prophet Muhammad salallahu 'alayhi wasallam said :"Do you know what backbiting is?" They said, "God and His Messenger know best." He (s.a.w.) then said, "It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike." Someone asked him, "But what if what I say is true?" The Messenger of God  said, "If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered." (Muslim)

"Who protects his tongue from unlawful utterances and his private parts from illegal sexual intercourse, I shall guarantee him entrance into Paradise." (Bukhari and Muslim)

"Who is the best Muslim? The Messenger of God replied, "He is the one from whom Muslims are safe from the evil of his tongue and hands." (Muslim)

In his book Guarding the Tongue, Imam Nawawi defines backbiting as, “…when you mention something about a person (in his absence) that he hates (to have mentioned), whether it is about: His body, his religious characteristics, his worldly affairs, his self, his physical appearance, his character, his wealth, his child, his father, his wife, his servant, his slave, his turban, his attire, his manner of walking, his smile, his dissoluteness, his frowning, his cheerfulness or anything else related to the above. Likewise it is the same whether you mention that about him with words, through writings, or whether you point or indicate that by gesturing with your eyes, hand or head.”

Aisha (radiAllahu anha) narrated, “I said to the Prophet (peace be upon him) ‘You are more than Safiyyah by such and such.’ [Some of the narrators said it meant she was short] So he said, ‘You have stated a word, which if mixed with the water of the sea, it would surely stain it.’”—Reported in Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, and Ahmed, declared to be saheeh.
