Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Whoever hears gossip about another believer and defends him, God will help him in this world and the Hereafter. But whoever hears gossip about another believer and can defend him but does not do so, God will scare him in this world and the Hereafter.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
من اغتيب عنده أخوه المؤمن فنصره وأعانه نصره الله في الدنيا والآخرة، ومن اغتيب عنده المؤمن فلم ينصره ولم يدفع عنه وهو يقدر على نصرته وعونه خوفه الله في الدنيا والآخرة.
