Sunan Abi Dawud 785 (Book 2, Hadith 395) #21076
Warning Against Slander

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the incident of slander and how the Prophet (ﷺ) warned against it.

'Urwah reported on the authority of 'A’ishah mentioning the incident of slander. She said: The Messenger of Allah sat and unveiled his face and said: "I take refuge in Allah, All-Hearing, All-Knowing from the accursed devil. Lo! They who spread the slander are a gang among you". Abu Dawud said: This is a rejected (munkar) tradition. A group of narrators have reported this tradition from al-Zuhri; but did not mention this detail. I am afraid the phrase concerning "seeking refuge in Allah" is the statement of Humaid.
حَدَّثَنَا قَطَنُ بْنُ نُسَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الأَعْرَجُ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَذَكَرَ الإِفْكَ، قَالَتْ جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَعُوذُ بِالسَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ‏{‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ ‏}‏ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ الآيَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ قَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا هَذَا الْكَلاَمَ عَلَى هَذَا الشَّرْحِ وَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمْرُ الاِسْتِعَاذَةِ مِنْ كَلاَمِ حُمَيْدٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was warning against slander, which is when someone says something bad about another person that isn't true or spreads rumors about them without any proof or evidence. He said that those who spread such lies are a gang among us and he took refuge in Allah from these accursed devils who spread such lies and hurt people's reputations with their words. He also warned us to be careful with our words as they can cause great harm to others if we are not careful with them and use them wisely instead of spreading false rumors or gossiping about others without any proof or evidence to back up what we say. We should always strive to speak truthfully and kindly so that we don't hurt anyone's feelings or reputation with our words, as it can have serious consequences for both parties involved if done carelessly.
