According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the principle of *Tabayyun* (verification) is a divinely-mandated protocol for information management, established in Surah Al-Hujurat (49:6). The verse explicitly commands believers: "O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate..." Classical commentators like Ibn Kathir explain that this verse was revealed after a companion mistakenly reported a tribe's hostility, nearly leading to a wrongful attack. This established the fundamental Islamic duty to ascertain the truthfulness of reports, especially from unreliable sources, to prevent injustice and social discord. Al-Qurtubi's analysis expands on the legal implications, forming a basis for the law of evidence in Islam where the testimony of a questionable character is not accepted without corroboration. This principle is complemented by the command in verse 49:12 to "avoid much suspicion," which addresses the internal state that makes one susceptible to rumors. Together, these verses provide a comprehensive framework for both active external investigation and passive internal restraint, a timeless guidance highly relevant in the modern age of digital misinformation.
