Backbiting Sahih
Sahih Sahih Muslim 2589 Narrator: Abu Hurayrah

أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْغِيبَةُ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ قِيلَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِي مَا أَقُولُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ

Do you know what backbiting is? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: It is your mentioning about your brother that which he dislikes. It was said: What if what I say is actually in him? He said: If it is in him, you have backbitten him; if it is not in him, you have slandered him.

Why it matters It defines ghibah precisely and removes the common excuse that 'but it is true' makes it acceptable.
Backbiting Agreed upon
Agreed upon Sahih al-Bukhari 10, Sahih Muslim 40 Narrator: Abdullah ibn Amr

الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the emigrant is the one who abandons what Allah has forbidden.

Why it matters It makes harm through speech a direct test of real Islam, not a side issue.
Backbiting Agreed upon
Agreed upon Sahih al-Bukhari 6138, Sahih Muslim 47b Narrator: Abu Hurayrah

مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ

Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent.

Why it matters It gives a practical rule that blocks much of backbiting before it even begins.
Backbiting Hasan
Hasan Jami at-Tirmidhi 1931 Narrator: Abu al-Darda

مَنْ رَدَّ عَنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ النَّارَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

Whoever protects his brother's honor, Allah will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.

Why it matters It shifts the believer from passive silence around ghibah to active defense of another Muslim's honor.
