Hadith 97
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ! لَا يُؤْمِنُ عَبْدٌ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul! No servant can be a believer until he desires for his brother what he desires for himself of goodness and virtue."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In this hadith, the word "al-khayr" possesses comprehensiveness; this word encompasses compliance with the rulings of the Shari‘ah and includes both worldly and hereafter-related permissible matters, while excluding those matters prohibited by the Shari‘ah. That is, the perfect character of a Muslim demands that whatever worldly good and benefit, and whatever hereafter-related good and virtue he likes for himself, he should also like for his Islamic brother; and whatever bad thing he dislikes for himself, he should also dislike it for his brother.
Since we are passing through an era characterized by outward show, materialism, self-interest, haste, and intolerance, due to these moral diseases, the happiness of others disturbs us and the trials of others make us happy.
