7-النميمة
عن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه ،قال:إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال((ألا أنبئكم ما العضة؟هي النميمة القالة بين الناس)). رواه مسلم

7-Prohibition of Calumny

Narrated Ibn Masud رضي الله عنه: Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said,))Shall I tell you what )Al-Adhu)(falsehood and slandering) is? It is calumny which is committed among the people.))[Muslim]

Commentary:

Islam calls for harmony, mutual love (friendly relation),and cooperation.

It warns against enmity and quarrel.

One of the main reasons that destroy the basic elements of a society and break off relations between people is calumny.

It causes hatred and alienation between Muslims.

A talebearer and a liar may set people against each other within one hour which a magician cannot do through one year.

Therefore,a Muslim should make sure of what he hears from others but not to depend in doubt.

Allah Almighty says:{O you who believe !If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it,lest you harm people in ignorance,and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done}*

Becareful of the talebearer who has no dignity,nor does he have good morals because he intentionally harms people and becomes happy for causing calamity to people

Instructions:

1-Prohibition of backbiting and talebearing.

2-Calumny is one of the great sins.
*Surah 49.Al-Hujurat,verse:6

8-تحريم الغيبة
عن 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

8-Forbiddance of Backbiting

Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Do you know what backbiting is?” The companions said :

Allah and His Messenger know better.

Thereupon he said, “Backbiting is talking about your (Muslim)brother in a manner which he dislikes”.

It was said to him :What if my (Muslim)brother is as I say.He صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: “If he is actually as you say, then that is backbiting;but if that is not in him , that is slandering” [Muslim]

Commentary:

In this Hadith,there is evidence that if a person talks about someone who is non-Muslim, that is not backbiting.

The word (brother) in this Hadith is intentionally used to draw the attention of the talker not to backbite his Muslim brother.

Because if he is his brother, he should forgive him,keep his faults secret,and expect good of (to see promising signs in) his defects, but not to spread them.

But if there is a person who never dislikes people to talk about his defects such as immoral and shameless (impious) people, thereupon, it is no more backbiting.

Finally, prohibition of backbiting is well known and agreed upon in Islam.

Instructions:

1-Care of Islam for Muslims honor.

2-Prohibition of backbiting which means to mention your Muslim brother in a manner which he dislikes.

3-Backbiting is one cause of hatred among Muslims.

4-Forbidding falsehood among Muslims.

5-Mentioning your Muslim brother flaws, even if they are true, is backbiting.

6-Rightfulness of mentioning your Muslim brother in a manner which he likes
A Note:

This Hadith which elaborates the meaning of backbiting and slander points out the difference between the two along with the evils of each one of them.

Both these evils are mischief of the tongue and entail great troubles. May Allah save us from both.

9-حق الجار على الجار
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال:قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فلا يؤذ جاره، ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليكرم ضيفه، ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيراً أو ليسكت". متفق عليه

9- Rights of Neighbor

Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “He who believes in Allah and the Last Day must not harm his neighbor ; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day must show hospitality to his guest; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day must speak good or remain silent.” [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Commentary:

In this Hadith, keeping the rights of the neighbor is an integral part of faith perfection and harming him is one of the great sins in Islam as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said in this Hadith “He who believes in Allah and the Last Day must not harm his neighbor” Righteous Muslim neighbors are distinguished from others.

Muslims should do good for all neighbors,advise them kindly,make supplication(du’a) for them to follow the right path,and not to harm them.

Instructions:

1-Motivation of Islam to what make people love and help each other.

2-Cooperation among neighbors strengthens their relationships.

3-Not hurting neighbor’s child in words or deeds is kind.

5-Forbiddance of harming your neighbors by any means.

10-النظافة من الإسلام
عن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " لا يدخل الجنة من كان في قلبه مثقال ذرة من كبر" قال رجل: إن الرجل يحب أن يكون ثوبه حسناً، ونعله حسنة. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " إن الله جميل يحب الجمال. الكبر: بطر الحق وغمط الناس". رواه مسلم

10-Cleanliness is Part of Islam

Narrated Abdullah ben Masud رضي الله عنه: Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “He who has ,in his heart, a grain of arrogance will not enter Paradise.” Someone said : How about a person who likes to wear beautiful clothes and shoes? Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said “ All of Allah’s Affairs are Beautiful and He likes beauty; arrogance means ridiculing and rejecting the Truth ,and despising people.” [Muslim]

Commentary:

This Hadith motivates cleanliness and forbids self-pride.

The Hadith says that a man who has even a little bit of self-pride in his heart will be barred from entering Paradise.

If pride incites a man to deny the existence of Allah and His Revelation, he is sure to be thrown into Hell.

Divine displeasure and the danger of infernal fire if mere consideration of riches, physical beauty, social and intellectual prominence and family status makes him proud and self-conceited and he looks down upon others,or persists in the denial of Truth.

First, he will receive punishment and only then will be admitted into Paradise.

A good dress,however, is not counted the sign of pride. Islam,however, encourages Muslims to be clean.

Instructions:

1-Forbiddance of arrogance and scorning people.

2-Cleanliness involves everything that a person wears and uses.

3-Care of keeping the house,the school,and the street clean.

4-Admiration of taking shower at least once a week.
