یَٓا اَیُّهَا الَّذٖینَ اٰمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثٖیرًا مِنَ الظَّنِّؗ اِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ اِثْمٌ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا یَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًاؕ اَیُحِبُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ یَاْكُلَ لَحْمَ اَخٖیهِ مَیْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُؕ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ تَوَّابٌ رَحٖیمٌ

Translations
O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful
Saheeh International
O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion is a crime. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Ye abhor that (so abhor the other)! And keep your duty (to Allah). Lo! Allah is Relenting, Merciful
