Gheebat Kya Hay Urdu Maulana Abdul Hayy Lucknawi

Description

A very detailed book written by Maulana Abdul Hayy Lucknawi about “Slandering” or “Backbiting” in Urdu “Gheebat” which means the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation.

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messengerﷺ as saying: Do you know what is backbiting? They (the Companions) said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Backbiting implies your talking about your brother in a manner which he does not like. It was said to him: 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 in fact backbited him, and if that is not in him it is a slander.
