Imām Ibn al-Qayyim {may Allāh have mercy upon him} said:- The ignorant one complains about Allāh to the people! This is the height of ignorance in complaining and in whom the complaint is about. For if a person were to truly know his Lord, he would never complain of Him. If he truly knew people, he would never complain to them … The gnostic complains only to Allāh, and the most knowledgeable of the gnostics are those who complain to Allāh about themselves, not others … So there are three levels:- # 1/-The most contemptible of them is to complain to people about Allāh; #2/ The loftiest of them is to complain to Allāh about oneself; #3/ The middle level is to complain to Allāh about others.
