60) Arguing, Picking Apart Another’s Words, and Quarreling

Allah, the Almighty has said,

{There is the type of man whose speech about this worldly life may dazzle thee and he calls Allah to witness about what is in his heart, yet he is the most contentious of enemies. When he turns his back, his aim everywhere is to spread mischief through the earth and destroy crops and progeny but Allah loveth not mischief} (Al-Baqarah: 204-205)

Imam Al-Ghazali (may Allah have mercy on him) said, “Picking apart another’s words consists of attacking another’s speech by revealing the mistakes in it, involving no other motive than contempt for the other and displaying one’s cleverness. He also said, disputation is what relates to clarifying various legal positions and making a case for them.
