Beware! Beware! Beware! Rumour Mongering Grips Many People During Times of Fitan
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Ibn Umar [radiyallaahu-anhumaa] said:
There was neither rumour mongering in the time of the Messenger [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] nor in the time of Abu Bakr [radiyallaahu-anhu]; neither in the time of Umar [radiyallaahu-anhu] nor in the time of Uthmaan [radiyallaahu-anhu]; rather rumour mongering started in the time of Fitan.”
