94 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Yaḥyā b. Jaʿfar told me; ʿAbd al-Malik b. Ibrāhīm al-Juddi narrated to us; al-Ṣalt b. Ṭarīf narrated, saying: I asked al-Ḥasan, “If a man is flagrantly wicked and makes his immorality public, would mentioning him for what he truly is count as backbiting?” He replied, “No—and he deserves no honor whatsoever.”
