With Advice from Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee, Compiled and Translated by Abul-Hasan Maalik Aadam al-Akhdar
A crippling issue amongst the Muslims and the destroyer of Brotherhood. The issue of 'al-qeela wa qal', 'He Said, She Said' is at the root of division amongst those ascribing themselves to ahlus-sunnah. An important reminder on the impermissibility of carrying tales, the destructive end for the one who does it and the correct position the salafee should take towards it.
The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) also said in a hadeeth collected by Muslim on the authority of Ibn Mas’ood, “Should I not tell you what falsehood is? It is the ‘he said, she said’ [that is carried] between the people.”
"When one hears his brother sinning and transgressing by spreading tales and speaking of ‘he said, she said’ amongst the people than let him say to his brother, “The Messenger of Allaah said: “Whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day then let him say good or remain quiet.” Or at the least one should remove himself from the sittings of ‘he said, she said’ and the tale carrying from the statement of Allaah, “And if they come upon vain speech, they pass by graciously [not involving themselves in it nor listening].” [Sooratul-Qasas, 28:55]”
