Deliberating about the reputations of preachers and scholars and its severity

Question:
The questioner says: We often hear people disparaging the reputations of preachers and scholars, mocking them, and accusing them of having motives other than calling to Islam. What is the severity of this matter? We hope for a word on this issue.

Answer:
I said during the discussion that the preacher is exposed to cursing, abuse, and belittling. What did they say about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? They said he is a sorcerer, they said he is a madman, they said the Messenger is a sorcerer, and they said he is a madman, and they said about him what they said of various sins, and he is the master of creation (peace and blessings be upon him), the best of the messengers. There is no doubt that regarding the preachers, such things will be said about them. They endure the belittling and blame that is said, but they endure it because they do not want praise from people. We do not want praise from people; we want the reward from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for people, we do not want their praise, nor do we expect praise from them. The one who wants praise is a hypocrite; he is not fit for da'wah. This is what is expected: that sincere preachers face blame, belittling, cursing, and doubt about them, and so on. Did not the people of Hud say to him, "We say nothing except that some of our gods has afflicted you with evil"? They said you are insane, and the reason for that is that our gods have afflicted you with insanity. Pharaoh and his followers said to Moses, "Will you have supremacy in the land?" meaning you want supremacy and elevation. They said to Moses this speech. (Peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Have you come to turn us away from our gods and that you may have supremacy in the land? And we are not going to obey you." They accused Moses (peace be upon him) of wanting leadership and wanting supremacy in the land, and he is the one who spoke with Allah, Moses the one who spoke with Allah (peace be upon him). They said to him, "You want leadership over us and you want this." This is not strange at all that such speech is said to preachers, but the preachers do not pay attention to this speech because they want the Face of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), they want what is with Allah, and they do not ask you for any reward. . Yes.
