If someone backbites about someone else to you, chances are, they are backbiting about you to someone else.
"Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allah).'' (17:36)
1528. Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (salalahu alayhi wasalam) said, "He who defends the honour of his (Muslim) brother, Allah will secure his face against the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.''
[At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary: If someone says something disgraceful against a Muslim, one must defend his Muslim brother (or sister, for that matter) and say that what has been stated about him or her is wrong and that he (or she) is free from the accusation made against him (or her).
1529. `Itban bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said in his long Hadith cited in the Chapter entitled `Hope' reported: When the Prophet (salalahu alayhi wasalam) stood up to offer As-Salat (the prayer) he asked, "Where is Malik bin Ad-Dukhshum?'' A man replied: "He is a hypocrite. He does not love Allah and His Messenger.'' The Prophet (salalahu alayhi wasalam) said, "Do not say that. Do you not know that he said: La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah),' seeking His Pleasure. Allah has made the fire of Hell unlawful for him who affirms that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: "Allah has made the fire of Hell unlawful'' means that a Muslim will not abide in Hell for ever. The reason is that if a Muslim has committed some major sin and Allah has not pardoned it, then he will certainly suffer its punishment in Hell. He will stay there as long as Allah wills. However, he will be later on shifted to Jannah. This Hadith also leads us to the conclusion that the backbiting of a Muslim is forbidden.
Your brother in Islam,
Fares Elahi

Someone made Dua' for you in every prayer!
‘Â'ishah (radiAllâh 'anhâ) narrated:
“Once, when I saw the Prophet in a good mood, I said to him: “O Messenger of Allâh! Supplicate to Allâh for me!”
So, he said: “O Allâh! Forgive ‘Â'ishah her past and future sins, what she has hidden, as well as what she has made apparent.”
So, I began smiling, to the point that my head fell into my lap out of joy.
The Messenger of Allâh said to me: “Does my supplication make you happy?”
I replied: “And how can your supplication not make me happy?”
He then said: “By Allâh, it is the supplication that I make for my Ummah (Muslim Nation) in every prayer.”“
[Reported in 'Sahih Mawarid adh-Dhaman' (1875), and it is in 'as-Silsilah as-Sahihah' (2254)]
