Ibrahim on Backbiting: Fear of speaking about other’s faults, tested like them

Al-A’mash reported: Ibrahim al-Nakha’i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Verily, I will see something I dislike in someone, and nothing stops me from speaking about it except fear of being put to trial in the same way.”

عن الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ قَالَ إبراهيم النخعي رحمه الله إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيْءَ أَكْرَهُهُ فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ إِلَّا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أُبْتَلَى بِمِثْلِهِ
