Backbiting, backstabbing, or tale-bearing is to slander someone in their absence to bite them behind their back. Originally, backbiting referred to an unsporting attack from the rear in the blood sport of bearbaiting. * In the Baha'i Faith, Christian, Islamic and Jewish doctrine, backbiting is considered a sin. The Baha'i leaders condemned it as the worst of sins as it destroyed the 'life of the soul' and provoked divine wrath. Thomas Aquinas classified it as a mortal sin, but did not consider it to be the gravest sin that one could commit against one's neighbour.In Islam, backbiting is known as Ghibat () and Islam considers it to be a major sin and the Qur'an compares it to the abhorrent act of eating the flesh of one's dead brother. * In Judaism, backbiting is known as hotzaat shem ra (spreading a bad name) and is considered a very severe sin. * In Buddhism, backbiting goes against the ideal of right speech.* |
