Hammam says that we were with Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) when it was said to him that a certain person conveys people's words to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "The tale-bearer will not enter Paradise."
