The Prophet (peace be upon Him) defined backbiting when he (peace be upon Him) said: "Do you know what is meant by backbiting?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best."
He (peace be upon Him) said, "To say something about your brother which he dislikes."
One asked, "Even if what I say is true about my brother?"
He (peace be upon Him) replied, "If such defects you say are true about him, then you have backbitten him, and if he doesn't have what you say, then you have committed slander against him."
