Chapter: "Chapter of the Gossips." Explanation of the report of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib: "Do not be hasty, gossips, and seed-sowers, for behind you lies a severe, bitter trial and heavy, protracted matters."

The Shaykh : We will read to you a report, given the limited time, in...
Chapter "The Gossips".
He cited in it with his authentic chain of narration.
From Hakim ibn Sa'd, who said: I heard 'Ali say: These are very unusual words from an Arabic perspective, so please pay attention to them.
: The plural of 'ajil, meaning hasty.

It is as if it is foreign language, unfortunately, due to our distance from the Arabic language. The intended meaning of this eloquent Arabic speech from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) cousin, is to forbid the Muslim from making it his habit to rush to transmit people's faults and spread them among people.
is the plural of madi' (broadcaster). The madi' today is known by definition as the means by which news is known in various parts of the world. So 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) advises Muslims not to be hasty in broadcasting news about the faults of some Muslims.
Budhra is also an emphasis of the previous meaning; it is the one who cannot keep a secret. This happens often, contrary to the conduct of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Two or three people sit together, and the conversation leads them to private matters. One of them speaks about something concerning himself, his wealth, his wife, his child, or something related to his affairs, thinking that those in the gathering will not spread that news. But then, after a few moments, this talk becomes widespread among people. This is non-Islamic conduct. Therefore, he says: is the plural of budr (seed), meaning the one who spreads a secret and cannot keep it. Why did 'Ali give this advice and direct it to people?
He said: These words are an allusion to the fact that they cause much harm, corruption, and destruction. This is the trial that will come in the future.
Similarly, his saying: are the trials that take hold of one another by the necks and they are heavy trials, and very heavy indeed.
The report that follows, as well as the second one, are both weak. What remains in the chapter is an authentic hadith and a good report, so we will read that, if Allah wills, in the next lesson, if Allah wills, Blessed and Exalted is He.
