Silsilah as-Sahihah 2662 — Preserving a Muslim’s reputation is a great

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mustawrid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever unjustly eats a morsel belonging to a Muslim, Allah Almighty will feed him from the food of Hell in proportion to it. Whoever unjustly wears a garment belonging to a Muslim, Allah Almighty will clothe him with a garment from Hell in proportion to it. And whoever safeguards the reputation of his Muslim brother, Allah Almighty will safeguard his reputation on the Day of Resurrection.”
