An elder said.




An elder said. “Do not let your heart go at a time when brothers are present, but rather pray secretly at that time, for that is when fear is ever present because of backbiting.”



A brother asked an elder: “What is backbiting?” The elder said: “If you say that brother so-and-so is zealous and intelligent, but somewhat casual when it comes to such-and-such a matter, here you have bitten back at him. But if you say he is a liar and a perjurer, that is condemnation and it is worse than backbiting.”
