Abdur-Raheem McCarthy – Easiest Haram

As-hal haram, the easiest haram, huwa al

-haram aladhi yaqa' fihi mu'thama al-naas, it's

the haram that most people fall into.

aladhi qala fihi al-imam al-dhahabi, the

one that imam al-dhahabi said about, tajid

al-naas yahrusoon ashadda al-hirs ala al

-halal fi aklihim wa malbasihim.

He said you'll find the people that they're

really keen on only taking halal when it

comes to what they eat and what they

wear.

lakin tajid qeebat al-naas, you find backbiting

people, as-hal shay ala al-sinatihim, it's

the easiest thing on their tongues.

Lidhariq qala nabiyu salallahu alayhi wasalam, he said

alayhi salatu wasalam, عندما أشارت عائشة إلى أن

الصفية كانت قصيرة.

When Aisha said that Safiya was short.

لقد قلت كرمة لو مزجت بماء البحر لمزجته.

You said a word that if it were

to be mixed with the water of the

sea, it would change the sea.

ما أنها قالت ما فيها لأنها كانت قصيرة.

Even though she said that which was true

because she was short.

لكن هذه هي الغيبة.

But this is backbiting.

فانتبهوا.

Be careful.

أن يكون أسهل الحرام على لسانك.

That the easiest form of haram is on

your tongue.

فقد يكون سببا لذهاب حسناتكم.

It could be a reason for you losing

all of your hasanat, all of your good

rewards.
