حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّارَكِيُّ الأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ رُسْتَهْ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "مثل الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَحَابِّهِمْ مثل الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى شَيْءٌ مِنْهُ تَدَاعَى سَائِرُهُ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى ، وَفِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةٌ إِذَا صَلَحَتْ وَسَلِمَتْ سَلِمَ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ لَهَا سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ ، الْقَلْبُ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، إِلا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ
Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The example of the mutual friendship and love among the believers is like a single body: when a part of it becomes ill, the whole body suffers from sleeplessness and fever. There is a piece of flesh in the body; when it is sound and healthy, the whole body remains safe, and when it becomes corrupt, the whole body becomes corrupt. Beware! That is the heart.”

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.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
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.
