210 – Ahmad ibn Manīʿ narrated to us: Husayn ibn Muhammad narrated to us, from al-Masʿūdī, from ʿAwn ibn ʿAbd Allah, who said: “If you say something true about a man, knowing that he dislikes it, you have backbitten him; and if you say something about him that is not true, you have slandered him.”
٢١٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «إِذَا قُلْتَ مَا فِي الرَّجُلِ وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ، وَإِذَا قُلْتَ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ»
