Hi, I have a question for all the learned women out here. I am wondering if anyone knows the source for that statement that if you speak badly about someone, all your mitzvos go to him or her and you get all their aveiros. If anyone knows the source and can cite it, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I recently read that in the Chofetz Chaim's sefer "Shemiras Halashon". I will try to go back and see where it was and what the source for that is.

I have never heard of this before.... I am very interested to know where it comes from.

Okay, I found the reference! It's in perek gimel of sefer Shemiras Halashon, and the Chofetz Chaim brings it in the name of Hagaon R' Rephael, from his sefer Marpeh Lashon.
