Is it authentic that the angels defend the believer in a dispute?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner asks: Is it true that there are recording angels who defend and advocate for the believer if someone disputes with him while he remains silent and does not respond?
Answer: Some hadiths have been reported regarding this, but I do not recall the status of their chains of narration. As for the recording, it exists; for Allah says:
(10) And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers, (11) Noble and recording; (12) They know whatever you do.وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ ۝ كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ ۝ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
[Surat al-Infitar: 10-12]. There are guardians with a person who record his deeds and his words.
As for defending him: the narrations that mention defending him are subject to scrutiny; they require reviewing their chains of narration. Yes.
