Praise be to Allaah
Gossip(Gheeba) and Tohmat (backbiting and slander)
Backbiting is talking in someone's absence in a manner not pleasing to the mentioned person.
If what is said is true it is Gheeba, however if it is false then it is even worse and that is Tohmat or slandering.
Allah in the Holy Quran says:
O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.{Surat Al-Ĥujurāt}[49:12]

The Prophet(pbuh) has said: Backbiting eats away the deen(religion) of a Muslim worse than leprosy eats one's flesh.
The prophet(pbuh) has also said: If you hear gossip about your brother/sister and you defend him/her, Allah will eliminate many of your evils in this and the next world. And if you remain quiet and do not do anythning, your sin is 70 times more than that one who did the gheeba.
A hadith from prophet(pbuh): "If you ddid gheeba and then did tawba(repented), you may be the person to enter jannah. But if you did gheeba, and you did not repent, you may be the first one who enters jahannam."
