Guidance on Using Descriptions and Titles for Preachers

Question:
The questioner says: He observes that many people apply descriptions to preachers, saying, "This is my brother," or "This is my companion," or "This is my confidant." We seek guidance?

Answer:
This was applied to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); they called him a sorcerer, a soothsayer, a liar, and so on. The point is that if a person is upon the truth, upright, and of good intention, it does not harm him if someone speaks about him. The hypocrites, and those who are upon falsehood or upon desires, will inevitably speak about him. That is not what concerns him. What concerns him is what is between him and Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
And the Muslim must restrain his tongue, because he is accountable and will be questioned, . He holds his tongue back from speaking about people, from backbiting and talebearing, because it is counted against him and recorded in his record of deeds. So his tongue is dangerous if he does not restrain it. Yes.
