“…Believers, abstain from most suspicion, some suspicion is a sin. Neither spy
nor backbite one another …” (Ch. 49 verse 12)
When the Prophet‟s two front teeth were broken and he was wounded in
the Battle of Uhud, so that the blood flowed over his face, he wiped the blood
saying: “How do a people who dye the face of their Prophet, praise and peace be
upon him, with blood succeed, while he calls them to their Lord!” At this Allah
sent down the verse: “No part of the matter is yours…” (Ch. 3 verse 128) as a
directive in regard to that – there being innumerable examples of these directives
in the Koran.
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was the first intended for the
function of disciplining and refining. Then the light spread from him over the
whole of creation, for he was disciplined by means of the Koran and he in turn
disciplined creation. For this reason he said: “I was sent to complete the code of
eithics.” After, which mankind became desirous of the fine qualities of character
as we mentioned in the book Riyadat al-Nafs wa Tahdhib al-Akhlaq (The training
of the soul and the refinement of character), a process, which we will not mention
nor backbite one another …” (Ch. 49 verse 12)
