Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2749 — The command to show affection to brothers

وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلِمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُؤَاخِي بَيْنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَتَطُولُ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا اللَّيْلَةُ ، حَتَّى يَلْقَى أَخَاهُ ، فَيَلْقَاهُ بِوُدٍّ ، وَلُطْفٍ ، فَيَقُولُ : كَيْفَ كُنْتَ بَعْدِي ؟ فَأَمَّا الْعَامَّةُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَأْتِي عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا ثَلَاثٌ ، لَا يَعْلَمُ عِلْمَ أَخِيهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to establish brotherhood (mu'akhah) between pairs of his Companions. (Their attachment of hearts was such that) the night would feel very long to one of them (because of the separation) until he met his (religious) brother; then, when he met him, he would greet him with great affection and kindness and ask: "How have you been since I left you?" And generally (the practice of the Companions was that) no one would let a period of three days pass without being informed of his brother's well-being and circumstances.
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded it.
