And from that is what is reported by Ayesha, she said, ‘A woman entered to see us. When she turned around, I gestured by my hand to mean, ‘Short’. So, he -saww said: ‘You are backbiting her!’’ وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أُذِلَّ عِنْدَهُ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْصُرَهُ فَلَمْ يَنْصُرْهُ أَذَلَّهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ.

And it has been reported from the Prophet -saww having said: ‘One in whose presence a Momin is humiliated and he is able upon helping him, but does not help him, Allah -azwj will Humiliate him one the Day of Qiyamah upon the heads of people’’. وَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ رَدَّ عَنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ بِالْغَيْبِ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَنْ عِرْضِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

And from Abu Al-Darda’a who said, ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘One who defends honour of his brother in the absence, would have a right upon Allah -azwj that He -azwj Defends his honour on the Day of Qiyamah’’. وَ قَالَ أَيْضاً مَنْ رَدَّ عَنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ بِالْغَيْبِ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ. And he -saww said as well: ‘One who defends honour of his brother in the absence would have a right upon Allah -azwj to Save him from the Fire’’.

وَ رَوَى الصَّدُوقُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ تَطَوَّلَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ فِي غِيبَةٍ سَمِعَهَا عَنْهُ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَرَدَّهَا عَنْهُ رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَلْفَ بَابٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ إِنْ هُوَ لَمْ يَرُدَّهَا وَ هُوَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى رَدِّهَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ كَوِزْرِ مَنِ اغْتَابَهُ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً.

وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى الْبَاقِرِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنِ اغْتِيبَ عِنْدَهُ أَخُوهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فَنَصَرَهُ وَ أَعَانَهُ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَنْصُرْهُ وَ لَمْ يَدْفَعْ عَنْهُ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى نُصْرَتِهِ وَ عَوْنِهِ خَفَضَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
