Someone asked a saint, "Why is it that the stench of
backbiting was smelt during the time of Rasulullah (sallallahualayhi‐
wa‐sallam), but is not evident today?" He replied,
"Backbiting has become so common nowadays that it's
stench has disappeared. The example is like how a toilet
cleaner and a tanner become so accustomed to the stench of
faces and raw leather, that they can eat quite comfortably in
their environments whereas other will find it difficult to even stand there for a moment. This is how backbiting has taken
vogue today."
