Punishment of Backbiters


Punishment of Backbiters

 

Anas ibn Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: “When my Lord ascended me to the heavens, I passed by a group of people having nails made of cooper with which they scratch their faces and chest. I asked: Who are those, O Jibril? He answered: Those are who consume the flesh of people [i.e. backbiters] and vilify the honour of others.”
 
Sunan Abu Dawud (4857), Musnad Ahmad (3/224)
