Virtue of Speaking up for a Muslim in his absence

From Abu’l-Darda’ (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAAS) said: “Whoever defends the honour of his brother, this will be a protection for him from the Fire.” [Al-Khara’iti, Makarim al-Akhlaq; Ibn ‘Asakir. There is nothing wrong with its Isnad as there is corroborating evidence. See Ghayah al-Maram (below Hadith No. 431).]
