Behold ye received it on your tongues and said out of your mouths
things of which ye had no knowledge; and ye thought it to be a
light matter while it was most serious in the sight of Allah2968.
[Translation of al-Nur, 24:15 by Abdullah Yusuf Ali]
Note:
2968 - There are three things here reprobated by way of moral
teaching: (1) if others speak an evil word, that is no
reason why you should allow it to defile your tongue; (2)
if you get a thought or suspicion which is not based on
your certain knowledge, do not give it currency by giving
it expression; and (3) others may think it is a small
matter to speak lightly of something which blasts a
person's character or reputation: in the eyes of Allah it
is a most serious matter in any case, but specially when
it involves the honour and reputation of pious women.
