حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَائَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ يَحْيَی الْمُعَافِرِيِّ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ حَمَی مُؤْمِنًا مِنْ مُنَافِقٍ أُرَاهُ قَالَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مَلَکًا يَحْمِي لَحْمَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمَنْ رَمَی مُسْلِمًا بِشَيْئٍ يُرِيدُ شَيْنَهُ بِهِ حَبَسَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَی جِسْرِ جَهَنَّمَ حَتَّی يَخْرُجَ مِمَّا قَالَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4883
Narrated Muadh ibn Anas: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone guards a believer from a hypocrite, Allah will send an angel who will guard his flesh on the Day of Resurrection from the fire of Jahannam; but if anyone attacks a Muslim saying something by which he wishes to disgrace him, he will be restrained by Allah on the bridge over Jahannam till he is acquitted of what he said.
