Kiarabu

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “أتدرون ما الغيبة؟” قالوا: الله ورسوله أعلم قال: "ذكرك أخاك بما يكره" قيل: أفرأيت إن كان في أخي ما أقول؟ قال: "إن كان فيه ما تقول، فقد اغتبته، وإن لم يكن فيه ما تقول فقد بهته”. ((رواه مسلم)).

Tafsiri ya Kiswahili

Kutoka kwa Abu Hurairah (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) said: "The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "Do you know what is backbiting?" The Companions said: "Allah and His Messenger know better." Thereupon he said, "Backbiting is talking about your (Muislamu) brother in a manner which he dislikes." It was said to him: "What if my (Muislamu) brother is as I say." He said, "If he is actually as you say, then that is backbiting; but if that is not in him, that is slandering."."
