١٦٧. عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَارْتَفَعَتْ رِيحُ جِيفَةٍ مُنْتِنَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:

«أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هٰذِهِ الرِّيحُ؟ هٰذِهِ رِيحُ الَّذِينَ يَغْتَابُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ».

167. Jabir (r.a.) narrated:

“I was next to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). Then suddenly the smell of carcass was felt.

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:

“Do you know what that smell is?  This is the smell of those who backbite about believers.” (Ahmad, III, 351)
