Abu Taymiyyah – 6 Things To Do When A Talebearer Comes To You Ustaadh

Every individual

who brings you tales about others.

Right? He says so and so done that,

and so and so done this.

Right? So and so said this about you.

Right?

Upon you is to do 6 things.

Upon you is to do 6 things.

Number

1.

That you don't believe what this individual is

saying. Straight away. Why?

Because this person who's carrying tails is a

Farsik.

He's a

transgressor. He is partaking

in some of the Or should I say,

one of the most

major sins possible

because of the corruption that it causes. There

are some major sins that is what?

Limited to maybe just yourself

or 2 people.

This is now what

causing problems and corruption upon amongst many.

Shouldn't believe him. Because he's a Farsikh,

Mardudu Shahada. This person's testimony in court will

be rejected.

And in Islamic court, they won't believe him,

or they won't accept anything that he says.

Because of him, committing fisq.

Athani. Number 2:

You should forbid him from doing this,

and you should advise him.

Number 3: You

Should hate him for the sake of Allah

Azzawajal.

Faheno Baheedur Indalam because he's despised by Allah

Azzawajal,

Due to him partaking in this filthy evil

sin.

Number 4.

That he shouldn't think

bad of his brother.

This person now that he's talking to you

about, you shouldn't start having bad assumptions of

him.

And that is because what?

Can't accept what this individual says, even though

it will burn.

Right?

It will make you feel at

or should I say, unease.

It will cause you discomfort.

You'll be thinking about it all night. How

can that individual say XYZ?

Number 5, Allah yahmila hoo.

Just to see,

walbaah.

This should not cause you now to start

spying.

This should not lead you now to start

spying on that individual.

Now that this has been said, you send

people, oh, go and double check. Does he

really say that? Go and ask him. Try

to act like you're on his side,

and they are his friend. See whether he

says that.

And that is because Allah said, Do

not

spy on one another. And Number 6,

You should not

fall into that which

you advise this tale teller of.

You may say to him now, Aqid listen,

what you've done is wrong, you shouldn't do

this. But then,

you go to your wife, or you go

to your brothers and sisters, and you start

saying, I can't believe what that guy said

about me.

He just prohibited that individual from not doing

this,

and you shouldn't be believing him. You should

not relate that which is being said.

May Allah give us a Tawfir to act

upon that. It's not easy.

Right?

These six points are really what? Pushing bonds.

It's really putting us to the test,

and on the ropes if you wanna call

it.
