1457. THE REWARD FOR DETERRING BACKBITING

4915.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن تَطَوَّلَ على‏ أخِيهِ في غِيبةٍ سَمِعَها فيهِ في مَجلِسٍ فَرَدَّها عَنهُ ، رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَنهُ ألفَ بابٍ مِن السُّوءِ فِي الدنيا والآخِرَةِ .¹

4915.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Whoever does a good service to his fellow brother by deterring people from talking behind his back in a gathering where he hears them backbiting him, Allah will repel from him a thousand types of evil in this world as well as in the Hereafter.’²

4916.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله: مَن اُغتِيبَ عِندَهُ أخوهُ المسلمُ، فاستَطاعَ نَصرَهُ فلم يَنصُرْهُ، خَذَلَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدنيا والآخِرَةِ .³

4916.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘He in whose presence a fellow Muslim brother is talked about behind his back, and who does not defend him despite having the ability to do so, Allah disgraces him in this world as well as in the Hereafter.’⁴
