Sahih Muslim Vol. 4, Ch. 1069, Hadith No. 6265 Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Do you know what is backbiting?" (The Companions) said: Allah and His Messenger know best. There upon (The Holy Prophet) said: "Backbiting implies your talking about your brother in a manner which he does not like." It was said to the Prophet (pbuh): What is your opinion about this that if I actually find (that failing) in my brother which i made a mention of. He said: "if (that failing) is actually found (in him) what you assert, you infact backbited him, and if that is not in him it is a slander.
