Imam Ali( A. S. )says:

الْغِيْبَةُ جُهْدُ الْعاجِزِ

Translation

Slander is the last effort of weak people..

Brief description

A few sins could be found among the capital sins that indicate meanness, weakness, humiliation, and non- chivalry like slander.

Those who blame and find faults with others and damage reputation and prestige of people through disclosing their hidden faults, that most people are involved in one of these faults, and sate the fire of their envy and malice in this way, are weak and mean persons who even do not show courage in their baseless and unfair challenge, and only can stab in the back.

It is mentioned in the tradition that if one who slanders, repents, he shall be the last one entering paradise. Otherwise, he would be the first one entering the hell.
