Sayyidunā Ḥātim Aṣam عَـلَيْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡاَکۡرَم has said, ‘A malicious person is not a religious person, a contemptuous person is not a genuine worshipper, a backbiter is not at peace with himself and one who is jealous is not supported.’ (Minĥāj-ul-‘Ābidīn, pp. 75)
We learnt that if anyone suffering from maladies such as malice, backbiting, fault finding, and jealousy, he then does not deserve to be called a righteous and a pious person, no matter how good character he has with an angelic face. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ enable us to adopt inward and outward piety by His grace!
اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Anger causes malice which gives birth to eight devastating maladies: One of them is that a malicious person feels jealousy, i.e., he will become sad when someone is happy and he will be happy when someone becomes unhappy. Second, a cruel person cannot resist the touch of ‘schadenfreude’, i.e., he feels and expresses his pleasure in seeing others in adversities. Third, he discloses his secrets through backbiting, lies and abusive language. Fourth, he would shun him and would not reply to his greetings. Fifth, he would look down upon him and talk to him without seriousness.
Sixth, he will make fun of him. Seventh, he would do him an injustice and severe the relation instead of ‘Ṣilaĥ Raḥmī’, i.e., he will not be obliging and recognising the rights of relatives neither will he be apologetic for his bad behaviour. Eighth, he will definitely harm
