Hadith 16:81
Anas (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“The atonement of backbiting a man is to ask Allah to forgive him.” Related by Al-Harith bin Abu Usamah with a weak chain of narrators.
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ - رضى الله عنه - عَنْ اَلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -قَالَ: { كَفَّارَةٌ مَنْ اِغْتَبْتَهُ أَنْ تَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُ } رَوَاهُ اَلْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ بِسَنَدٍ ضَعِيفٍ
