Our brother, Abul-Hasan Maalik Ibn Aadam delivers a moving sermon, beginning with the authentic hadeeth, “Indeed, Allaah has made your wealth and your blood and you honour as sacred to one another as this day of yours, in this month of yours in these sacred precincts of yours.”

• Imaam adh-Dhahabee (d.728H) mentions in the 45th sin in his book, al-Kabaa`ir: the nammaam (carrier of tales).
• Imaam al-’Uthaymeen (d.1421H) mentions that everything that is disliked falls under the category of an-nameemah.
• He mentions aayaat and ahaadeeth about those who swear in abundance and that they are liars.
• He mentions that the people now protect the nammaam by saying, “I don’t want to mention who I heard this from.”
• Imaam adh-Dhahabee mentions that the nammaam is a faasiq (disobedient sinner) and that his narration is rejected.
• adh-Dhahabee also mentions that it is not permissible to suspicions about the one whom the nammaam narrates about.
• adh-Dhahabee says that it is also not permissible to spy upon that person after hearing the nameemah.
• He (i.e. adh-Dhahabee) advises people to not spread that which was mentioned by the nammaam, for the one who spreads it also becomes a nammaam.
• Imaam as-Sa’dee (d.1376H) mentions that it is impermissible to spread nameemah, regardless or whether it happened or didn’t happen.

• Abul-Hasan mentions when he called Shaykhs ‘Ubayd al-Jaabiree and Muhammad Baazmool about those who speak ill of one community to another, they both replied that this is a devilish path and that they (i.e. the Scholars) support the Salafees in refuting such people.
• He mentions the authentic hadeeth that, “Allaah hates for you three things…he said, she said.”  [Read The Dangers of 'He Said, She Said' - troid.ca]
• Abul-Hasan ends with an exhortation to Ahlus-Sunnah to be from those people who walk proudly with these narrations from the Sunnah upon their shoulders and implement them and spread them and not turn to the nammaam.

Tale Carrying; And The Danger Of The One Who Carries Tales And Hastens To Destroy The Relationship Between The Students Of Knowledge

Shaikh Saaleh Al Fawzaan [hafidhahullaah said]:

Tale carrying is to transmit speech between the people with the intent of destroying their relationships. Allaah (The Most High) said:

‘And obey not everyone who swears much, and is considered worthless, a slanderer, going about with calumnies‘ [Surah Qalam; Ayah:10-11]

And the severest of all of that is the one who hastens to destroy the relationship between the students of knowledge and the callers to Islaam; and in order to divide the Jama’ah of the Muslims and incite hatred between them. The one who does this is a nammaam (a tale carrier).

Indeed, Allaah (The Most High) has made it impermissible to follow and believe such a person even if he swears by Allaah, as Allaah said:

‘And obey not everyone who swears much, and is considered worthless, a slanderer, going about with calumnies‘ [Surah Qalam; Ayah:10-11]

The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

‘The tale carrier will not enter paradise‘

And it is reported in a narration that the tale carrier causes more corruption in an hour than a magician can cause in a year.

Tale carrying is of magic, because the magician corrupts the relationship between the people and causes enmity between them, as Allaah (The Most High) said:

‘And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife‘
[Baqarah; Ayah:102]

They learnt magic and magic causes splitting of the hearts and enmity. Likewise, tale carrying is more severe than magic; perhaps wars may occur due to the Tale Carrier; and perhaps the Muslims may split and show enmity to one another due to the Tale Carrier; neighbours may boycott one another and one’s household may show enmity to one another and split due to a Tale Carrier.

Therefore, we must fear Allaah (Azza-Wa-Jal) and be mindful of the Tale Carrier [1] end of quote
