بِئْسَ الْعَبْدُ عَبْدٌ يَكُونُ ذَا وَجْهَيْنِ وَ ذَا لِسَانَيْنِ يُطْرِي أَخَاهُ شَاهِداً وَ يَأْكُلُهُ غَائِباً إِنْ أُعْطِيَ حَسَدَهُ وَ إِنِ ابْتُلِيَ خَذَلَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Abu Shayba, from Al Zuhry, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The worst servant is a servant who happens to be with two faces and with two tongues, flattering his brother when present and devouring (backbiting) him when absent. If his brother (in <span class="iTxt">Eman</span>) is given (a Bounty) he envies him, and if his brother (in <span class="iTxt">Eman</span>) is afflicted, abandons him’.
