(Study Guide #3-Overcoming Difficulty-Glossary)
"And were it not for Allah’s Grace upon you and His Mercy in this world and the Hereafter, a grievous chastisement would certainly have touched you on account of the talk you indulged in. When you received it on your tongues and spoke with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge, and you deemed it a trifle, while with Allah it was serious. And why did you not, when you heard it, say: It beseems us not talk of it Glory be to Thee! This is a great calumny. Allah admonishes you that you return not to the like of it ever again, if you are believers...Those who love that scandal should circulate respecting those who believe, for them is a grievous chastisement in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah knows, while you know not.”
~ Holy Qur’an 24:14–17, 19
