Ibn Wahb may Allah have mercy on him said: I made a vow that for every time I spoke ill of a person behind his back that I would fast a day in compensation. I would backbite someone then fast a day, then I found this tiring. So I made the intention to donate a dirham for each time I did it and finally I abandoned backbiting due to my attachment to money!
