Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ حَدَّثَنِي رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا عَرَ
جَ بِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَرَرْتُ بِقَوْمٍ لَهُمْ أَظْفَارٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ يَخْمُشُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَصُدُورَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ لُحُومَ النَّاسِ وَيَقَعُونَ فِي أَعْرَاضِهِمْ

English Translation
Abu al-Mughirah narrated to us, Safwan narrated to us, Rashid ibn Sa'd and Abd ar-Rahman ibn Jubayr narrated to me, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When my Lord عز وجل took me up (in the Night Journey), I passed by a people who had copper nails with which they were scratching their faces and chests. I said, "Who are these, O Jibril?" He said, "These are those who used to eat the flesh of people (backbiting) and attack their honor."'
