(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – Ibn Al Mutawakkil, from Al Himeyri, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Rian, from Abu Al Warid, ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘One in whose presence his Momin brother is being backbitten, so he helps him (that who is talked about) and assists him, Allah -azwj will Help him in the world and the Hereafter; and the one in whose presence his Momin brother is being backbitten, but he does not help him and does not defend him while he is able upon helping him and assisting him, Allah -azwj lower him in the world and the Hereafter ’’.
[15] وَ قَالَ ص سِتُّ خِصَالٍ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا كَانَ ضَامِناً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ نِيَّتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَغْتَابَ مُسْلِماً فَإِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كَانَ ضَامِناً عَلَى اللَّهِ الْخَبَرَ. And he -saww said: ‘Six characteristics, there is no Muslim dying in one of these, except I -saww guarantee upon Allah -azwj that He -azwj will Enter him into the Paradise – a man whose intention is that he will not backbite a Muslim.
If he dies upon that, it would be a guarantee upon Allah ‑azwj ’ – the Hadeeth’’. [16] وَ قَالَ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا يَسْتَقِيمُ إِيمَانُ عَبْدٍ حَتَّى يَسْتَقِيمَ قَلْبُهُ وَ لَا يَسْتَقِيمُ قَلْبُهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَقِيمَ لِسَانُهُ فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَلْقَى اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ هُوَ نَقِيُّ الرَّاحَةِ مِنْ دِمَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ سَلِيمُ اللِّسَانِ مِنْ أَعْرَاضِهِمْ فَلْيَفْعَلْ.
And he -asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww : ‘The Eman of a person cannot be straight until his heart is straight, and his heart cannot be straight until his tongue is straight. So the one from you who is capable of meeting Allah -azwj the Glorious and he is of pure comfort from the blood of Muslims and their wealth, safe of the tongue from their honours, let him do so’’.
