Backbiting

The definition of backbiting has been clearly explained in the hadeeth reported by Muslim (4/2001) upon the authority of Aboo Hurairah that:
The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: 
“Do you know what backbiting is?”
They said: “Allaah and His Messenger know best.”
He said: “Mentioning your brother with that which he dislikes.”
It was said to the Prophet (Salla Allaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam): “Even if what I mention about my brother is true?” He (Salla Allaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) said:
“If what you have said concerning him is true, then surely you have backbitten him; and if what you said isn’t true, then surely you have slandered him.”

As for his statement: “You have slandered him.” An-Nawawi (commenting upon this in) (Sharh Muslim 16/142), said: “The Haa is to be pronounced lightly, and it takes a fathah. It means: that which you have said about him was slander, and this is because it was false.”
