Chapter 318
Remembrance 1 from Chapter 318
Context
KNOW THAT IT is incumbent on anyone who hears a Muslim being slandered to refute it and to rebuke the speaker. If one cannot restrain him with words, he should restrain him with his hand. If one cannot restrain him with the hand or tongue, one should leave that gathering. If one hears his shaykh, or others who have a right over him, or those who are people of virtue and righteousness, being slandered, one’s concern in this matter should be even greater.
