Bukhari

Hadith Commentary:
If any Muslim is unjustly imprisoned or detained, then his release can be financed from zakat funds. Nowadays, such incidents occur frequently, yet Muslims pay no attention to this except whom Allah wills.
Accepting invitations and visiting the sick are also among the Sunnah acts.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In this hadith, the word "da'i" (the inviter) is general, which includes every type of person who extends an invitation, whether someone is inviting to a wedding feast (walimah) or any other kind of invitation. In any case, accepting the invitation is necessary because in this hadith, the imperative form is also used, which indicates obligation.
(2)
The majority of scholars hold the position that accepting the invitation to a wedding feast (walimah) is obligatory because it strengthens the public announcement of the marriage, but accepting other types of invitations is recommended (mustahabb).
It should be noted that whatever type of invitation it may be, the inviter should be encouraged.
If there is no impediment, one should certainly participate.
Wallahu a‘lam (And Allah knows best).

Hadith Commentary:
To free an innocent, oppressed Muslim prisoner is a great virtue.
Blessed indeed is that Muslim who attains this good fortune.
May Allah grant Paradise to Hazrat Mawlana Abdul Shakoor Shukrawi and my dear brother Mawlana Abdur Razzaq, who assisted me in such a manner at a most critical time.
Allahumma ighfir lahum wa irhamhum, ameen. (Raaz)

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In one narration, instead of “visit the sick,” the words are “accept the invitation of the one who invites you.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Nikah, Hadith: 5174)
It appears that some narrators remembered certain things which others did not.
These are the actual actions.
All these actions are among the recommended (mustahabb) acts, and at times they may even become obligatory (wajib).
(Fath al-Bari: 9/643)
(2)
Since in the heading, the meaning of a verse was that “eat lawful food and do righteous deeds,”
this hadith clarified that feeding someone is also a righteous deed which a person should do.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
These three virtues hold great significance in the realm of faith and character.
To free an oppressed prisoner is such a great act of goodness that its reward cannot be estimated. Similarly, feeding the hungry is a deed that has been praised in many Qur’anic verses and Prophetic hadiths. Inquiring after the health of the sick is also a Sunnah practice.

Hadith Commentary:
It is obligatory to secure the release of a Muslim prisoner from the captivity of the enemy, whether through exchange, compensation, or any other means. Similarly, feeding the hungry is also a moral obligation, whereas visiting the sick is a recommended (mustahabb) act. The commentator of Bukhari, Ibn Battal (rahimahullah), has stated that if the enemy holds Muslim prisoners, securing their release is a communal obligation (fard kifayah), and there is consensus among all the scholars of the Ummah on this matter. (Fath al-Bari: 201/6)

Hadith Commentary:
➊
From the generality of the ahadith, it is understood that the ruler of the time should accept invitations; there is a very severe warning mentioned in the ahadith for neglecting this.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever does not accept an invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Nikah, Hadith: 5177)

➋
Ibn Battal writes that the ruler of the time must certainly accept the invitation to a wedding feast (walimah), and regarding other invitations, he has a choice; it is better that he does not accept those in which the inviter has unlawful aims and objectives in mind.
However, if it is a sincere religious brother or a close relative, then he should certainly encourage him in the matter of the invitation.
(Fath al-Bari: 13/203)

Hadith Commentary:
These are extremely important and significant rights of Muslims over other Muslims, the fulfillment of which is obligatory and essential.

Hadith Commentary:
Attending to a sick person does not merely mean inquiring about his condition, but also includes comforting him and arranging for his medicine and treatment. In any case, visiting the sick is a deed of great reward. It is mentioned in the hadith that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“When a Muslim visits his Muslim brother (who is ill), it is as if he is strolling in the gardens of Paradise and eating from its fruits.” (Sahih Muslim, al-Birr wa al-Silah wa al-Adab, Hadith: 6552 (2568))
