What is your advice for one who lies about the scholars?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What should be done with those who lie about the scholars, claiming that they issued a ruling on such-and-such, when it later turns out to be otherwise?

Answer:
By Allah, my brothers, leave these matters alone and keep your hearts pure. Leave these matters and these arguments alone. As for the one who says this about himself, you have no concern with him.
If he lies about the scholars or backbites them, that is upon himself. But if you advise him, you say: "My brother, this is not permissible for you, as it falls under the category of backbiting. Also, you did not hear that particular scholar say such-and-such, nor did you read a writing of his. Where is the writing he wrote? You were present when he issued the ruling. Advise him in this manner, saying: 'Look, the harm of this will return to you. It will return to you, for you are lying about the scholars or backbiting people.' So advise him. If he does not accept it, then leave him; his sin is upon him. I advise you not to get involved in these matters, to keep your hearts pure, and to avoid arguing about them, because arguing about them and delving into them leads to nothing. You are solving these problems, and what results from your words and your opinions is not a benefit, but rather filling hearts with hatred, sowing discord among people, and other such things, or issuing religious rulings without knowledge. Yes.
