Aslamo Alikum,

Dear All,

Suppose there are two persons A and B.

Whenever A will backbite B, God will give A’s good deeds to B.

Prophet Muhammad (sws) said, Backbiting eats your good deeds like the fire eats dry wood.

We all know, fire eats dry wood quickly, so if we will backbite someone, our good deeds will be burnt like a dry wood.

People backbite each other as a habit but they don’t know what the hell they are doing with themselves.

God says in Quran, that backbiting is like we are eating the flesh of our dead brother/sister.

So, all those people who are backbiting others are actually eating dead meat of humans.

Definition of Backbiting & Slander

Prophet Muhammad (sws) said :

"Do you know what backbiting is?" They said, "God and His Messenger know best." He then said, "It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike." Someone asked him, "But what if what I say is true?" The Messenger of God said, "If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered him."

Sahih Muslim

Reference:

O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.

Quran 49:12

Cases in which ghibah is permissible

Injustice. One who has suffered injustice is entitled to mention the one who has committed injustice to someone who is capable of restoring his rights to him, such as a legitimate Muslim ruler or judge.
Seeking help to change an evil, or to reform the wrongdoer. If the intention in telling the ghibah is not to change the wrong, then it is forbidden to relate it.
Asking for a fatwa. A person may say, 'My father/brother/wife has done such-and-such to me. What can I do about it?

On the authority of `A'ishah : Hind, the wife of Abu Sufyan, said to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), "Abu Sufyan is a miserly man, and he is not giving me what would suffice me and my child, unless I take from him without his knowing." He said, "Take what suffices you and your child according to common usage." [Bukhari, Muslim]

However, it is more precautionary to avoid mention of names, for example by asking instead, "What is the verdict regarding a person who has done such-and-such?"
Warning, such as warning a prospective buyer that the merchant is a swindler, or warning a student that his prospective teacher is an innovator or a deviant. Also, revealing the faults of weak narrators and forgers of hadith, and giving someone a candid appraisal of a person whom the former is thinking of marrying.

On the authority of Fatimah bint Qays : she said, "I came to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and told him, "Abu Jahm and Mu`awiyah have [both] proposed to me." He said, "As for Mu`awiyah, he is a poor man with no money, and as for Abu Jahm, his stick never leaves his shoulder." [Bukhari, Muslim, Malik]
If someone is commonly known by a nickname, although if there is some alternative way to refer to him, it is preferable.
Someone who sins openly, and has no qualms about his sins being mentioned.
However, it is not permissible to mention any of his secret sins.

"There can be no backbiting of one who casts off the mantle of modesty." [Suyuti, Al-Jami` As-Saghir, 2/519, from Bayhaqi.]
