حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ - عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْغِيبَةُ قَالَ ‏"‏ ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ ‏"‏ . قِيلَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِي مَا أَقُولُ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ ‏"‏ .

English translation
Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked: Messenger of Allah! What is back-biting? He replied: It is saying something about your brother which he would dislike. He was asked again: Tell me how the matter stands if what I say about my brother is true? He replied: If what you say of him is true, you have slandered him, and if what you say of him is not true, you have reviled him
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। একদা রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে প্রশ্ন করা হলো, গীবত কী? তিনি বললেন, তোমার ভাইয়ের ব্যাপারে তোমার এমন কিছু বলা যা শুনলে সে অসন্তুষ্ট হয়। পুনরায় প্রশ্ন করা হলো, আমি যা বলি তা যদি আমার ভাইয়ের মধ্যে বর্তমান থাকে? তিনি বললেন, তুমি যা বলো তা যদি তার মধ্যে থাকে তাহলেই তুমি তার গীবত করলে। আর তুমি যা বলো তা যদি তার মধ্যে না থাকে তবে তুমি তাকে মিথ্যা অপবাদ দিলে। সহীহ।
