Ibn al-Qayyim [may Allaah have Mercy on him] said,
“As for having bad thoughts of others, then this is defined as one filling his heart with negative perceptions of others. In turn, this leads to the person who possess bad thoughts of others to move his tongue and engage in actions in a negative manner based on the false understanding that he has made for himself. He then backbites, spreads tales, insults, seeks faults and create enmity towards his adversary. He creates some to be divided from the rest; some cursing others leading to some warning against the other. …the victim is then enveloped with harm…and thus the victim leaves those who defame him having resentment, dis-honesty and enmity towards them.”
[Kitaab ar-Rooh (1/238)]
