And whoever commits a mistake, or a sin, and then blames it on an innocent person, has taken a slander and a clear sin.
What does the Qur'an say about backbiting and slander?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 4:112 Whoever commits a fault or a crime and then throws the blame on an innocent person has burdened himself with falsehood. In because it names the mechanism of slander - transferring guilt to someone who did not earn it - rather than only the word.
- 02 24:16 Why did ye not say: it is not for us to speak of this? This is an awful calumny. In because it is the one place the text supplies the answer a hearer should give, and because it treats repeating the charge as itself the offence.
- 03 33:58 Those who malign believing men and believing women UNDESERVEDLY bear the guilt of slander. In because the qualifier is the whole of it: the wrong named is the undeserved charge, not criticism as such.
- 04 49:11 Let not a folk deride a folk, nor women other women; neither defame one another nor insult one another with nicknames. In because it is the direct prohibition, and because it names the forms - derision, defamation, nicknames. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about mocking others?, with a different reason there.
- 05 49:12 Shun much suspicion; spy not, neither backbite one another - would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? In because it is the central verse on backbiting and because it supplies the text's own image for it. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about suspicion and spying?, with a different reason there.
- 06 68:11 Detractor, spreader abroad of slanders. In because it puts slander in a list of characteristics, as a description of a person rather than of an act.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
Six verses, and they do not all say the same thing.
49:12 is the one most people can quote: shun much suspicion, spy not, neither backbite one another - would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? The image is the argument. It is not that backbiting is unkind; it is that it is a thing you would find revolting if you saw it plainly.
33:58 carries a qualifier that matters and is easy to lose: those who malign believing men and women UNDESERVEDLY. The wrong named there is the undeserved charge. The verse does not, on its own words, forbid saying something true and deserved, and the study does not stretch it to.
4:112 describes a different act with the same tongue - throwing your own fault onto someone innocent - and 68:11 lists the slanderer as a type of person rather than the slander as a type of act.
24:16 is the only one that tells a hearer what to do: why did you not say, it is not for us to speak of this? The offence there is repeating it.
What these verses do NOT settle is where honest report, warning and testimony end and backbiting begins. 49:12 says shun MUCH suspicion and says some suspicion is a crime, which concedes that not all of it is. Sorting that is the work of the interpretation layer, and no has cleared the rights audit.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 4:112, widening across 6 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

6 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

The translators word this verse differently
Those who harm believing men and believing women, for acts they did not commit, bear the burden of perjury and a flagrant sin.
Compare translations (4)
And those who malign believing men and believing women undeservedly, they bear the guilt of slander and manifest sin
And those who annoy the believers for what they have not earned, such have to bear (the guilt of) calumny and obvious sin
And they who shall affront believing men and believing women, for no fault of theirs, they shall surely bear the guilt of slander, and of a clear wrong
And they who shall injure the true believers of either sex, without their deserving it, shall surely bear the guilt of calumny and a manifest injustice

Und diejenigen, die den gläubigen Männern und den gläubigen Frauen Leid zufügen für etwas, was sie nicht begangen haben, laden damit Verleumdung und offenkundige Sünde auf sich.
Και εκείνοι που βλάπτουν (λεκτικά ή με πράξεις) τους πιστούς και τις πιστές άδικα, έχουν φορτωθεί τη χειρότερη συκοφαντία και μία ολοφάνερη αμαρτία.
और जो लोग ईमान वाले पुरुषों तथा ईमान वाली स्त्रियों को कष्ट पहुँचाते हैं, बिना इसके कि उन्होंने कुछ (अपराध) किया हो, तो उन्होंने मिथ्यारोपण और स्पष्ट पाप का बोझ उठाया।
E quelli che insultano i credenti e le credenti ingiustamente, compiono una nefandezza e un evidente peccato.

Auch sollen nicht Frauen über andere Frauen (spotten), vielleicht sind eben diese besser als sie. Und beleidigt euch nicht gegenseitig durch Gesten und bewerft euch nicht gegenseitig mit (hässlichen) Beinamen. Wie schlimm ist die Bezeichnung des Frevels, nachdem man den Glauben (angenommen) hat!

Το χειρότερο ψευδώνυμο (και χαρακτηρισμός) είναι το «ανυπάκουος» (που το αξίζει αυτός που κάνει τα προαναφερόμενα) αφού έχει γίνει πιστός! Όποιος (δε σταματάει και) δε στρέφεται με μεταμέλεια προς τον Αλλάχ, τέτοιοι είναι οι άδικοι.
ऐ लोगो जो ईमान लाए हो![6] एक जाति दूसरी जाति का उपहास न करे, हो सकता है कि वे उनसे बेहतर हों। और न कोई स्त्रियाँ अन्य स्त्रियों की हँसी उड़ाएँ, हो सकता है कि वे उनसे अच्छी हों। और न अपनों पर दोष लगाओ, और न एक-दूसरे को बुरे नामों से पुकारो। ईमान के बाद अवज्ञाकारी होना बुरा नाम है। और जिसने तौबा न की, तो वही लोग अत्याचारी हैं।
O Credenti, non deridano i popoli altri popoli, che potrebbero essere migliori di loro, né le donne deridano altre donne, perché quest’ultime potrebbero essere migliori di loro, e non insultatevi a vicenda e non rivolgetevi epiteti indegni: che infausto nome è «Malvagio» dopo essere diventato credente!

О вы, которые уверовали! Пусть одни люди не высмеивают других, — быть может, те лучше них, и пусть женщины не [высмеивают] других женщин, — быть может, те лучше них. Не порочьте самих себя и не называйте друг друга [обидными] прозвищами. Скверно название «нечестие» после веры! А кто не покается, то такие и есть несправедливые.
О ви који верујете, нека се мушкарци једни другима не ругају, можда су они бољи од њих, а ни жене другим женама, можда су оне боље од њих. И не кудите једни друге и не зовите једни друге ружним надимцима! Како је ружно да се верници спомињу подругљивим надимцима! А они који се не покају – сами себи чине неправду.
Enyi mlioamini! Wanaume wasiwadharau wanaume wenzao, wala wanawake wasiwadharau wanawake wenzao. Huenda hao wakawa bora kuliko wao. Wala msivunjiane heshima, wala msiitane kwa majina ya kejeli. Ni uovu kutumia jina baya baada ya kwisha amini. Na wasiotubu, hao ndio wenye kudhulumu.
Troende! Låt inte en grupp män göra narr av en annan – kanske dessa [som de gjorde narr av] är bättre än dem. Och kvinnor ska inte göra narr av andra kvinnor – kanske dessa [som de gjorde narr av] är bättre än dem. Peka inte ut varandras brister och ge inte varandra öknamn. Det är verkligen fruktansvärt att kallas ogudaktig efter att man har antagit tron. Och de som [gör detta och] inte ångrar sig hör till de orättfärdiga.
Ey iman edenler! Bir topluluk, diğer bir toplulukla alay etmesin. Belki de onlar (alay edilenler), alay edenlerden daha hayırlıdır. Kadınlar da başka kadınlarla alay etmesin. Belki de onlar, bunlardan daha hayırlıdır. Kendi kendinizi ayıplamayın ve birbirinizi kötü lakaplarla çağırmayın. İmandan sonra fasıklık ne kötü bir isimdir! Kim tevbe etmezse, işte zalimler onlardır.

The translators word this verse differently
If two groups of believers fight each other, reconcile between them. But if one group aggresses against the other, fight the aggressing group until it complies with God's command. Once it has complied, reconcile between them with justice, and be equitable. God loves the equitable.
And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them. And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other, fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah; then, if it return, make peace between them justly, and act equitably. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable
And if the two parties of the believers quarrel, then make peace between them; and if one of the twain outrages the other, then fight the party that has committed the outrage until it return to God's bidding; and if it do return then make peace between them with equity, and be just; verily, God loves the just
If two bodies of the faithful are at war, then make ye peace between them: and if the one of them wrong the other, fight against that party which doth the wrong, until they come back to the precepts of God: if they come back, make peace between them with fairness, and act impartially; God loveth those who act with impartiality
If two parties of the believers contend with one another, do ye endavour to compose the matter between them: And if the one of them offer an insult unto the other, fight against that party which offered the insult, until they return unto the judgment of God; and if they do return, make peace between them with equity: And act with justice; for God loveth those who act justly

O you who believe! Avoid most suspicion-some suspicion is sinful. And do not spy on one another, nor backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it. So remain mindful of God. God is Most Relenting, Most Merciful.

O ju që besoni! Largojuni shumë paragjykimeve, sepse disa paragjykime janë gjynah. Mos gjurmoni dhe mos përgojoni njëri-tjetrin! A do të donte ndokush prej jush të hante mishin e vëllait të tij të vdekur? Gjithsesi se këtë do ta urrenit! Kijeni frikë Allahun! Vërtet, Allahu është Pranues i pendimit e Mëshirëplotë.
হে তোমরা যারা ঈমান এনেছ! তোমরা বেশি বেশি অনুমান করা থেকে দূরে থাকো। নিশ্চয় কোন কোন অনুমান তো পাপ। আর তোমরা গোপন বিষয় অনুসন্ধান করো না এবং একে অপরের গীবত করো না। তোমাদের মধ্যে কি কেউ তার মৃত ভাইয়ের গোশত খেতে পছন্দ করবে? তোমরা তো তা অপছন্দই করে থাক। আর তোমরা আল্লাহকে ভয় করো। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ অধিক তাওবা কবূলকারী, অসীম দয়ালু।

O die ihr glaubt, meidet viel von den Mutmaßungen; wahrlich, manche Mutmaßung ist Sünde. Und sucht nicht (andere) auszukundschaften und führt nicht üble Nachrede übereinander. Möchte denn einer von euch gern das Fleisch seines Bruders, wenn er tot sei, essen? So wäre euch dies ja zuwider. Und fürchtet Allah. Wahrlich, Allah ist Reue annehmend und barmherzig.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Αποφύγετε την πολλή καχυποψία (που δε βασίζεται σε απόδειξη)· πράγματι, κάποιες καχυποψίες είναι αμαρτίες. Μην κατασκοπεύετε, ούτε να κακολογείτε ο ένας τον άλλον κατά την απουσία του. Θα άρεσε σε κάποιον από σας να φάει τη σάρκα του νεκρού αδερφού του; Θα το μισούσατε (και έτσι θα πρέπει να μισείτε το να κακολογείτε ο ένας τον άλλον κατά την απουσία του). Φυλαχθείτε από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Ταουάμπ (Αυτός που συγχωρεί και αποδέχεται τη μεταμέλεια) και Ραχείμ (Πολυεύσπλαχνος).
ऐ लोगो जो ईमान लाए हो! बहुत-से गुमानों से बचो। निश्चय ही कुछ गुमान पाप हैं। और जासूसी न करो, और न तुममें से कोई दूसरे की ग़ीबत[7] करे। क्या तुममें से कोई पसंद करता है कि अपने भाई का मांस खाए, जबकि वह मरा हुआ हो? सो तुम उसे नापसंद करते हो। तथा अल्लाह से डरो। निश्चय अल्लाह बहुत तौबा क़बूल करने वाला, अत्यंत दयालु है।
O credenti, evitate fortemente il sospetto, in verità alcuni sospetti sono peccato. E non spiate e non sparlate l’uno dell’altro: piacerebbe forse a uno di voi mangiare la carne del fratello morto? L’avete ripudiato. E temete Allāh, in verità Allāh è Perdonatore, Misericordioso.
12. O jūs, kurie tikite! Venkite įtarinėjimo. Iš tiesų, dalis įtarimų yra nuodėmė. Ir nešnipinėkite, ir neapkalbinėkite vienas kito. Ar vienas jūsų norėtų valgyti savo mirusio brolio mėsą? Jūs to nekęstumėte (todėl nekęskite apkalbinėjimo). Ir bijokite Allaho. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Tas, Kuris atleidžia ir priima atgailą, Gailestingiausias.

О вы, которые уверовали! О вы, которые уверовали! Остерегайтесь многих предположений, — воистину, некоторые предположения являются грехом. И не выслеживайте друг друга, и не злословьте за спиной друг друга. Неужели кто-либо из вас пожелал бы есть мясо своего умершего брата? Вы бы почувствовали отвращение к этому! Бойтесь Аллаха, — воистину, Аллах — принимающий покаяние, милующий.
О верници, клоните се многих сумњичења, нека су сумњичења, заиста, грех. И не уходите једни друге и не оговарајте једни друге! Зар би неком од вас било драго да једе месо свога умрлог брата - а вама је то одвратно - зато се бојте Аллаха; Аллах, заиста, стално прима покајања и милостив је.
Enyi mlioamini! Jiepusheni na dhana nyingi, kwani baadhi ya dhana ni dhambi. Wala msipelelezane, wala msisengenyane nyinyi kwa nyinyi. Je, yupo katika nyinyi anayependa kuila nyama ya nduguye aliyekufa? Mnalichukia hilo! Na mcheni Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kupokea toba mno, Mwingi wa kurehemu.
Troende! Undvik att hysa alltför många misstankar; en del misstankar är direkt syndfulla. Inte heller ska ni spionera på eller baktala varandra. Skulle någon av er vilja äta sin döde broders kött? Nej, ni skulle avsky det! Frukta Gud; han godtar ständigt ånger och är barmhärtig [mot sina tjänare].
Ey iman edenler! Zannın çoğundan kaçının. Çünkü zannın bir kısmı günahtır. Birbirinizin gizlisini araştırmayın. Birbirinizin gıybetini yapmayın. Biriniz, ölü kardeşinin etini yemeyi sever mi? Bundan tiksindiniz değil mi? Allah’tan sakının. Kuşkusuz Allah, tevbeleri çokça kabul edendir, çokça merhamet edendir.

O you who believe! No people shall ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you slander one another, nor shall you insult one another with names. Evil is the return to wickedness after having attained faith. Whoever does not repent-these are the wrongdoers.
O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames.

O true believers, let not men laugh other men to scorn; who peradventure may be better than themselves: Neither let women laugh other women to scorn; who may possibly be better than themselves. Neither defame one another; nor call one another by opprobrious appellations.

The Desert-Arabs say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not believed; but say, 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered into your hearts. But if you obey God and His Messenger, He will not diminish any of your deeds. God is Forgiving and Merciful."
The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if ye obey Allah and His messenger, He will not withhold from you aught of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
The desert Arabs say, 'We believe.' Say, 'Ye do not believe; but say, "We have become Muslims;" for the faith has not entered into your hearts: but if ye obey God and His Apostle He will not defraud you of your works at all: verily, God is forgiving, compassionate
The Arabs of the desert say, "We believe." Say thou: Ye believe not; but rather say, "We profess Islam;" for the faith hath not yet found its way into your hearts. But if ye obey God and His Apostle, he will not allow you to lose any of your actions: for God is Indulgent, Merciful
The Arabs of the desert say, we believe. Answer, ye do by no means believe; but say, we have embraced Islam: For the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts.

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it5 of the 6 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 4:112, 24:16, 33:58, 49:11, 49:12, 68:11, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - backbite; backbiting; backbiteth; slander; slanderer; traduce; defame; calumny; evil + speaking. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
What was returned and not carried. 3 verse(s) the search qualified are recorded as not carried, rather than silently discarded: 4:148; 4:156; 9:79. The reason for each was not recorded.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
