Prohibition of Listening to Gossip
We should not pay attention to gossip that is criticizing a fellow Muslim or listen to it with enjoyment and hope to hear more. Allah says, “And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart – about all those [one] will be questioned.” (Quran 17:36) The Prophet said, “Whoever defends the honor of his brother, Allah will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.” (Silsilah as-Sahihah)
We should remember who is the best Muslim that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has defined for us. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “He is the one from whom Muslims are safe from the evil of his tongue and hands.” (Saheeh Muslim)
