The Shaykh : In the second chapter, there are mawquf hadiths, but they are sound, and there is no harm in reading them quickly. It was narrated with a good isnad in the chapter "Whoever hears of a scandal and spreads it." What is its punishment and its retribution? It was narrated with a good isnad from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "The one who says the scandalous thing and the one who spreads it are equal in sin."
The one who speaks a scandalous word, accusing so-and-so or so-and-so of a false accusation, and then another man or woman picks it up and broadcasts and spreads it; this picker-up is the same as the first liar who started it; they are equal in sin. This is a specific detail that aligns with a general rule, which is that cooperation in righteousness and piety is commanded by the Shari'ah, and cooperation in sin and aggression is prohibited by the Shari'ah. Therefore, Allah cursed ten people regarding intoxicants: He cursed the one who drinks riba and the one who consumes it, the one who writes it, and its two witnesses. From this chapter, completely, the one who says the scandalous thing and speaks it, and the one who promotes and spreads it, are equal in sin. This means that the Muslim, whether male or female, must be vigilant and not pay attention to every word he hears and then pick it up, without distinguishing between a rusty report and a clean one; he picks up this speech and then broadcasts it among the people; they are equal in sin. So we must be careful with all the speech that reaches our ears and not rush to transmit this speech except after verification. Therefore, He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said in the Qur'an:[Al-Hujurat 49:6].

O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ
