Translation text: الغيبة أي أنك تكلمت به في غيبته وقدحت فيه عند الناس وهو غائب Backbiting means you have spoken about someone in their absence and criticised them in front of other people. فهذه اختلف فيها العلماء The scholars differed about this. فمنهم من قال لابد أن تذهب إليه وتقول له يا فلان إني تكلمت فيك عند الناس فأرجوك أن تسمح عني وتحللني Some of them said you must go to the one you spoke about and say, "I spoke bad about you to the people, I hope you can forgive me and pardon me." وقال بعض العلماء:لا، لا تذهب إليه، بل فيه تفصيل. And some scholars said: no, don’t go to him; rather there are more details. فإن كان قد علم بهذه الغيبة فلابد أن تذهب إليه وتستحله So, if the person knows about this backbiting, then you must go to him and ask him to forgive you. وإن لم يكن علم، فلا تذهب إليه واستغفر له وتحدث بمحاسنه في المجالس التي كنت تغتابه فيها And if the person doesn’t know, then don’t go to him. Seek forgiveness for him; and speak about his good qualities in the gatherings in which you backbit him. فإن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات، وهذا القول أصح... Because certainly good deeds erase evil deeds. And this is the most correct view. قل اللهم اغفر له Say, “O Allah forgive him." كما جاء في الحديث كفارة من اغتبته أن تستغفر له As mentioned in the Hadith that the expiation of the one you've backbitten is to seek forgiveness for him. ----------------------------------------------------- Rabbaniyeen ربانيين 🔴اليوتيوب🔴👇 https://youtube.com/channel/UCSZQ94R_9fXNumssaa5BAkg 🔴الانستجرام🔴👇 https://www.instagram.com/rabbaniyeen/ 🔴التيليغرام🔴👇 https://t.me/Rabbaniyeen
