(This is) because we -asws have found the people as deficient, needy, without perfection, along with their differing and their different whims and their directions scattered. So if a caretaker was not Made to be for them, protecting what the Rasool -saww came with, they would have corrupted what is clear and changed the Laws and the Sunnah and the ordinances and the Eman, and there would be in that, corruption of the people altogether.
[15] Discussing/reporting a believer in his Absence: Backbiting is not slandering (accusing that would be Bohtan ) but passing on or discussing someone’s slip-ups or guessing someone conduct/behaviour in his/her absence.
في جوامع الجامع وروى ان ابا بكر وعمر بعثا سلمان إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله ليأتي بهما بطعام، فبعثه إلى أسامة بن زيد وكان خازن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله على رحله فقال: ما عندي شيئ، فعاد اليهما فقالا: بخل أسامة ولو بعثنا سلمان إلى بئر سميحة لغار ماؤها، In Jawame Al-Jamea – ‘It has been reported that Abu Bakr and Umar sent Salman -ra to Rasool-Allah -saww to bring some food for the two of them.
So he -saww sent him -ra to Asama Bin Zayd who was a treasurer of Rasool-Allah -saww on his -saww journey. But he said, ‘There is nothing with me’. So he ar returned to the two of them, and they said, ‘Asama is stingy. Had we sent Salman -ra to the well of Sameehat, it would have given its water’. ثم انطلقا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فقال لهما: مالى أرى خضرة اللحم في أفواهكما ؟ قالا: يا رسول الله ما تناولنا اليوم لحما، قال ظلتم تأكلون لحم سلمان واسامة فنزلت.
Then they went to Rasool-Allah -saww who -saww said to the two of them: ‘What is it that makes me -saww see the greenery of meat in the mouths of the two of you?’ They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww ! We have not had any meat today’. He -saww said: ‘You have been eating the flesh of Salman -ra and Asama’. It (Verse 49:12) was Revealed’.
