SPOKEN ILL OF SOMEONE

Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam) has mentioned, "Backbiting means that you say something of your brother in his absence that he would not like." Someone asked, "What if the fact mentioned is really in him?"
Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam) replied, "Then it is backbiting. If the fact is not in him, then it would constitute slander, which is worse than backbiting."

It has been mentioned that if it is said about someone, that his garb is too high or too low, then this will also be regarded as backbiting.
A short woman once came to Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wasallam). After she left, Hadhrat A'isha (R.A) commented on her height. Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam) said, Oh A'isha! This is backbiting because you have spoken ill of her."
