The Shaykh :"He is a worthless person among people, with no knowledge, *** no religion, and no authority from a ruler"
And these people are found frequently among the general public. They are worthless, following every barker, and they have no knowledge or religion. "Authority from a ruler" means he is not from ... the ruler.
"When he sees evil" - may Allah have mercy on you -
"When he sees evil, he moves, seeking *** mention, like the movement of a snake"
When he hears backbiting in the gathering, he starts speaking and brings lies and slander so that it will be said, "What Allah willed, this man is the life of the gathering; this man has a word." And he will have mention among the people. Yes, Allah, his tongue is enough for you, and so on.
"Like the movement of a snake
so that the harm of stagnation is removed from it, the aggressive dog is to be spent on the male sheep.
It means he says, "This one is a fool, there is no good in him," in order to remove the harm of his stagnation. How is the harm of stagnation? If a man is in the gathering and does not speak, it is said, "This is a piece of wood," and no one raises their head for him. But if he speaks, even with falsehood, people turn to him to see what he is saying. He wants to do a deed by which he will be remembered and have a status in the gathering, so his stagnation is removed.
