Some students of knowledge display rudeness, envy, and resentment toward some scholars; what is the advice?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am one of the students who attend these lessons by the grace and favor of Allah. But my question, Honorable Shaykh, is that some of the students present harbor hatred toward some of the scholars and shaykhs, and I do not know what the reason is. Is the reason the rudeness of hearts, or the envy, or the resentment in our hearts? We ask you for advice for those present, and for whoever hears this, to stay away from partisanship, fanaticism, and disparaging the shaykhs and the people of knowledge?

Answer:
Yes, books have been written on this, and there are lectures and warnings, and praise be to Allah. It is obligatory for Muslims in general that they are brothers, and if one of them makes a mistake, they should advise him and warn him. It is especially obligatory for the students of knowledge, because they are role models, that they do not become partisan. Each one should not join a group or a party. Rather, we are all, praise be to Allah, one group and one party: the party of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). We must gather under the banner of the people of the Sunnah and the community, and leave behind partisanship, division, and insulting each other with titles. We leave these matters and advise one another. We advise one another; the one who errs returns to the truth and does not become fanatical. Yes.
