Tafseer al-Maraaghee

al-Hasan said:

There are three aspects of backbiting, all of which are [mentioned] in the Book of Allaah: backbiting, falsehood, and slander.

1) As for backbiting: it is to say about your [Muslim] brother what [he dislikes, but] is true.

2) As for falsehood: it is to say about him what has been reported to you about him.

3) As for slander: it is to say about him what is not true.

And there is no disagreement between the scholars that [all three aspects of] backbiting is a major sin.
