Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ عُرْفُطَةَ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَارْتَفَعَتْ رِيحُ جِيفَةٍ مُنْتِنَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ هَذِهِ رِيحُ الَّذِينَ يَغْتَابُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad told us, my father told me, Wasil the freedman of Abu Uyaynah told us, Khalid ibn Urfutah told me, from Talhah ibn Nafi', from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: We were with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when a foul, putrid smell arose. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do you know what this smell is? This is the smell of those who backbite the believers."
