Hadith: Whoever protects the honor of his brother in his absence, Allah will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Judgment
عن أبي الدرداء رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
«مَنْ رَدَّ عَنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ رَدَّ اللهُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ النَّارَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ».
[صحيح] - [رواه الترمذي وأحمد] - [سنن الترمذي: 1931]

Abu ad-Dardā’ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Whoever protects the honor of his brother in his absence, Allah will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Judgment."
[Authentic] - [Narrated by At-Tirmidhi and Ahmad] - [Sunan At-Tirmidhi - 1931]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that if a Muslim defends the honour of his fellow Muslim in his absence by preventing others from backbiting him, Allah will protect him from the punishment on the Day of Judgment.
Benefits from the Hadith
- It is prohibited to backbite or slander Muslims.
- Recompense is of the same type as one's deeds. So, whoever defends the honor of his fellow Muslim, Allah will defend him against the Fire.
- Islam is a religion of fraternity and mutual support among its adherents.
