    • Sahih Muslim
      [] عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ ٱللَّٰهِ—صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ—قَالَ: «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْغِيبَةُ؟» قَالُوا: «اَللَّٰهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ.» قَالَ: «ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ.» قِيلَ: «أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِي مَا أَقُولُ؟» قَالَ: «إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ ٱغْتَبْتَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ.»
      [] ʕan ʔabī hurayrata, ʔanna rasūla llāhi—ṣallā llāhu ʕalayhi wasallama—qāla: “ʔatadrūna mā al-ḡībatu?” qālū: “ʔallāhu warasūluhu ʔaʕlamu.” qāla: “ḏikruka ʔaḵāka bimā yakrahu.” qīla: “ʔafaraʔayta ʔin kāna fī ʔaḵī mā ʔaqūlu?” qāla: “ʔin kāna fīhi mā taqūlu faqadi ḡtabtahu, waʔin lam yakun fīhi faqad bahattahu.”
      Abu Hurayrah related that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do you know what is ḡībah?" They said, "Allah and his Prophet know best." [So] he said, "[It is] speaking ill of your brother [literally "mentioning your brother and what he dislikes to be mentioned"]." [Then] someone said, "[But] what if what I said is true?" [So] he said, "If it is true, it is ḡībah, and if it is not, it is buhtān.
