I'm tired of Muslims sharing post that is not verified...
Verifying news before believing in it instead of spreading it, is an unique Qur'anic methodology in which hearsay is avoided…


Allah Ta'ala said,
“O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with news, verify it lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful over what you have done." - [al-Hujurat: 6]

Allah Ta'ala said:


"When there comes to them some matter pertaining to (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people)…" [al-Nisa: 83]


Al-Hafidh Ibn Kathir said in the tafsir of this verse, 'And this statement of His "When there comes to them some matter pertaining to (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people)…"is a reprimand of those who rush into matters without first verifying them and so they spread it and tell others even though it may not be authentic. Muslim said in his introduction to the Sahih collection: '… And it's narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said;

'It is enough of a lie that a person should pass on everything he hears.' (Reported by Muslim in the Muqaddimah)

assalamu aalaykum. SubhanAllah, thats true, we get a lot of people spreading rumours and it would not take much time to verify information.
