How many times have backbiting (Gheebah) and slander (Nameemah) been mentioned in the Qur’an, with evidence?
The Holy Quran warns against backbiting (gheeba) and slander (nameema). Backbiting is explicitly mentioned by its word in Surat Al-Hujurat: "And do not backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would abhor it." And by its meaning in Surat Al-Humazah: "Woe to every slanderer and backbiter." As for slander, it is explicitly mentioned by its word in Surat Al-Qalam: "A great slanderer, going about with calumnies." And by its meaning in Surat At-: "They seek to stir up discord among you, and among you are listeners to them." And in Surat Al-Ma'idah: "And among those who are Jews are listeners to falsehood, listeners to another people."
