Hadith 991
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”حَقُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ سِتٌّ“، قِيلَ: وَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ: ”إِذَا لَقِيتُهُ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا دَعَاكَ فَأَجِبْهُ، وَإِذَا اسْتَنْصَحَكَ فَانْصَحْ لَهُ، وَإِذَا عَطَسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَشَمِّتْهُ، وَإِذَا مَرِضَ فَعُدْهُ، وَإِذَا مَاتَ فَاصْحَبْهُ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim.” It was asked: What are they? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When you meet him, greet him with Salam; when he invites you, accept his invitation; when he seeks your advice, give him sincere counsel; when he sneezes and says «الحمد للہ», respond to him with «یرحمك الله»; when he falls ill, visit him; and when he dies, accompany him (to the graveyard), that is, perform his funeral prayer.”
