Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Divulging the faults of other believers which God has hidden is a form of gossiping. Claiming what is not true about your believing brothers is a form of accusation.”
قال الصادق (عليه السلام): من الغيبة أن تقول في أخيك ما ستره الله عليه، وإن من البهتان أن تقول في أخيك ما ليس فيه.
