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
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.
