Patience with Slander
Everyone sin, except the prophets. Allah does not leave the punishment for the sins of His beloved servants to the hereafter. Because sin is crime. The opposite is punishment.
If he is patient about slander with three troubles in the world, there are 3 rewards.
1-It gives disease. If he is patient, he forgives. It is necessary to cling to the causes and to know what comes from Allah. And he should be thankful knowing what he came for.
2- It causes financial distress. The second way for forgiveness of sins is financial hardship. To be in debt. Troubles to pay off debts. This is the cause of forgiveness of sins.
3-Exposed to slander. It is to suffer from people’s lies, gossip and slander. If he shows patience to all these, he will gain great rewards.
The thing that befits a believer about slander is to stay away from such a great sin, to disregard every word spoken and to prevent the spread of slander by reacting to slanderers.
