1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Hassan ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: ‘‘The Messenger of Allah has asked, ‘Should I tell you who the evil ones among you are?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘They are those who spread gossip that causes separation among the loved ones and those who seek to label the innocent with faults.’”
