Causes and Cures of Backbiting

What causes someone to backbite his Muslim brothers and sisters?

1. Satisfying Anger

This is done by backbiting the person who kindles his anger. So every time this person makes him angry, he subdues it by backbiting the person. Through this (the backbiting), he feels he is getting even with the other person.

The cure for this is the advice of the Messenger, peace be upon him, when a man came to him and said, “Advise me.”
The Messenger said, "Laa taqhdab (Do not become angry)!"

2. Wanting to Make or Keep Friends

In order to maintain friends with others, a person indulges in backbiting because he is afraid of losing their friendship. Thus he does not reprimand them when they backbite, but indulges in it with them.

To cure this, he must remember the saying of the Messenger: "Whoever seeks the pleasure of men by displeasing Allah, Allah will abandon him to the people" (Tirmidhi).

3. Conceit and Lack of Awareness of One's Faults

Such people should think about their own faults and try to correct themselves, and feel ashamed to criticize others when they have many faults themselves.

Uqbah Ibn Aamir narrates:
I said, "O RasulAllah! What is salvation?"
He, peace be uopn him, said, "Hold your tongue! Your house should suffice you! And cry over your (own) faults” (Tirmidhi)!

I believe that there has been some private communication between some of the Muslims here to discuss my position on some recent matters. Would that constitute backbiting?

A better response would have been if you think that such an action would constitute backbiting.
