Tzavo'as R Eliezer HaGodol, "stanza" 17. It's the longer/fuller version of
R' Eliezer being visited by his students on his death bed as related
in Brachos 28b and in slighly more detail in Sanhedrin 101a.

17. My son, do not sit among groups which speak bad (Genai) about their
friends and [with] Ba'aley Lashon Hara, for all the words go up and are
written in a book, and all those present are recorded in a Chaburas LH.

It's on Page 322 in my copy of Pirkey D'R Eliezer.
