Riyad as-Salihin: Book 17, Hadith 28
Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Shall I tell you what ‘Al-‘Adhu’ (falsehood and slandering) is? It is calumny which is committed among the people.”.
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “ ألا أنبئكم ما العِضَه؟ هي النميمة، القالة بين الناس” ((رواه مسلم)). العضه: بفتح العين المهملة، وإسكان الضاد المعجمة، وبالهاء على وزن الوجه، وروي: العضة بكسر العين وفتح الضاد المعجمة على وزن العدة، وهي: الكذب والبهتان، وعلى الرواية الأولى: العضه مصدر، يقال: عضهه عضها، أي: رماه بالعضه .
