Namima (Talebearing): Difference between revisions

'''Namima (calumny)''' or '''Nammami''' (Arabic: {{ia|النمیمه}}) is among [[greater sins]] and refers to mentioning someone's words to others in order to ruin their friendly relationships. Namima is a sin of the tongue and is criticized in the [[Qur'an]] and [[hadiths]]. It usually accompanies some other moral vices such as [[ghiba]] (backbiting) and [[tuhma]] (slander) and originates from vices such as [[hasada]] (envy). Murder, humiliation, and debasement are mentioned among its consequences in this world and the [[hereafter]].
