The Dangers of Suspicion and Inquisitiveness

SUMMARY: Avoid suspicion and inquisitiveness as it is a form of lying.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying: Avoid suspicion for suspicion is the most lying form of talk. Do not be inquisitive about one another, or spy on one another.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيثِ وَلاَ تَحَسَّسُوا وَلاَ تَجَسَّسُوا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Hurairah, warns us against the dangers of suspicion and inquisitiveness. It teaches us that we should not be suspicious or inquisitive about one another as it is a form of lying. We should not spy on each other or try to investigate what others are doing as this can lead to false accusations and hurtful gossip. Instead, we should focus on our own actions and strive to be honest in our dealings with others.

Suspicion can lead to mistrust between people which can have serious consequences for relationships between individuals, families, communities, and even nations. Therefore it is important that we practice restraint when it comes to being suspicious or inquisitive about others so that peace may prevail in society at large.
