Know that backbiting among the people is the absence of the heart from the knowledge of what is happening in the conditions of creation, in order to occupy the heart with what it responds to. If this is the case, then the backbiting can only be due to the manifestation of God, and it is not correct for the backbiting to be as they described it regarding the arrival of a created being, for it is occupied and absent from the conditions of creation, and thus A sect is distinguished from others, for backbiting is present in all sects. The sect’s backbiting is rightly from a creation, so that it is attributed to it in terms of honor and praise. The people of God in backbiting are divided into classes, even if they are all rightly so, then the backbiting of those who know is rightly backbiting from right, and the backbiting of those who are less than them from God’s people is rightly backbiting. Creation and the absence of the great scholars of God is absence by creation from creation,
