Chapter: Backbiting and Allah’s saying:“Do not backbite one another”
Hadith Number: 569
569/736 عن قيس قال: كان عمرو بن العاص يسير مع نفر من اصحابه، فمر على بغل ميت قد انتفخ، فقال:" والله! لان ياكل احدكم [ من ]هذا حتى يملا بطنه، خير من ان ياكل لحم مسلم".
It is narrated from Qais that Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) was traveling with a group of his companions. They passed by a dead mule that had become bloated. He said: By Allah! If any one of you were to fill his stomach by eating this, it would be better for him than eating the flesh of his Muslim brother.
