حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ الْجَسَدِ ، إِذَا اشْتَكَى عُضْوًا تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ جَسَدِهِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى " .
Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir: Allah's Apostle said, "You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it."

Hadith Commentary:
This should indeed be the characteristic of Muslims, but today this quality is completely rare. Now, there are no longer even two such Muslims to be found, that seeing one would make the other happy.

Hadith Commentary:
From this hadith, the greatness of the rights of Muslims, their mutual assistance, and their compassion for one another becomes evident—that they are like a single body (jism wahid), meaning that in hardship and ease, all the limbs of the body are in harmony with each other and invite one another to share in distress. This should be the characteristic of Muslims: that upon seeing any one Muslim afflicted with hardship, they become restless and eager to help him. However, in the present era, this precious quality is rare. And Allah knows best.

Benefits and Issues:
From this hadith, it is understood that among the believers, there should be such mutual love and affection, such mercy and compassion, and such sympathy and goodwill, and such a heartfelt connection, that the observing eye should see them in such a state that if any one of them is afflicted with pain, suffering, or difficulty and hardship, then all should consider it as their own pain, suffering, and calamity, and all should be affected by his distress and restlessness, and should strive to remove it just as they would strive to remove their own pain and suffering.
