"Damn a person who sets the wife against her husband!" Is the statement above a hadith? If not, is there a hadith or verse regarding the issue?

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

“A person who bears tales and gossips in order to set a person against another cannot enter Paradise.” (Muslim, Iman, 168)

The Prophet (pbuh) said to his Companions,

“Shall I inform you about the worst ones of you?” They said,

“Yes!” Thereupon, the Prophet (pbuh) said,

“The ones who bear tales, gossip, try to drive a wedge between lovers and seek faults with innocent people.” (Iraqi, Takhriju Ahadithil-Ihya- with Ihya III/151)

There is no doubt that the worst one of driving a wedge between two people is sowing discord between husband and wife.

When the bad aspects of magic / sorcery are mentioned in the Quran, it is emphasized that sorcerers sowed discord between husband and wife. (see al-Baqara, 2/102)
