Islamic incident about Backbiting


Two women kept fast at the time of the Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihi Wa'aalihi Wasallam). They were so stricken with hunger at the end of the day that their lives were thought to be ending. They were sent to the Prophet (SAW) so that He might order them to break their fast, but instead of ordering them to break the fast, Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihi Wa'aalihi Wasallam) sent a cup for them telling them that they should vomit in it, one of them vomited in it fresh flesh which filled up half of the cup. The other vomited similarly and filled up the rest of the cup. The Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihi Wa'aalihi Wasallam) then said: The two women back-bited the people which is similar to eating your dead brother's flesh.
“Do not back-bite one another. Does one of you like that he eats the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor it.”
Quran: [Surah Al- Hujurat, Ayat 12]
