Prophet (saws) said : "If any one of you wants to praise and attest to the morals or character of your brother, you then should say : 'I think so and so about the person , Allah (Swt) knows the truth'."
[Bukhari]
Explanation : Islam teaches us to be extra careful about attesting to some one's character . It should be done in a way as to not give an impression of a slightest iota of suspicion . Islam's emphasis on nobility, ethics and morality can impress any open-minded person who has an objective and unbiased approach . That is why in a few years time Islam revolutionized the corrupt society.
Teaching of morals in Islam has a dual purpose. On one hand it exhorts to practice virtues, on the other it commands to give up the vices. There is a long list of vices, and one of them is to lie and utter falsehood.
Adherence to ethics, code of morality and good conduct constitutes to be an important, integral and major part of Islamic teachings therefore it is forcefully said that think before you say anything about others. Be very cautious and extremely careful while making comments about a person in his absence. Avoid suspicion and mistrust and think good of people.
May Allah clean our hearts , and enable us to watch our tongue and our acts, Aameen !
