باب تَحْرِيمِ ظُلْمِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَخَذْلِهِ وَاحْتِقَارِهِ وَدَمِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ وَمَالِهِ:Chapter: The Prohibition Of Wronging, Forsaking, Or Despising A Muslim And The Inviolability Of His Blood, Honor And Wealth
Hadith 2564
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى عَامِرِ بْنِ كُرَيْزٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَحَاسَدُوا ، وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا ، وَلَا تَبَاغَضُوا ، وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا ، وَلَا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ ، وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ ، وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ ، وَلَا يَحْقِرُهُ التَّقْوَى هَاهُنَا ، وَيُشِيرُ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، بِحَسْبِ امْرِئٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يَحْقِرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ كُلُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ ، حَرَامٌ دَمُهُ ، وَمَالُهُ ، وَعِرْضُهُ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Don't nurse grudge and don't bid him out for raising the price and don't nurse aversion or enmity and don't enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour.

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ كُرَيْزٍ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ دَاوُدَ ، وَزَادَ وَنَقَصَ ، وَمِمَّا زَادَ فِيهِ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَجْسَادِكُمْ وَلَا إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ ، وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ ، وَأَشَارَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ .
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) with some addition (and it is this):" Verily Allah does not look to your bodies nor to your faces but He looks to your hearts," and he pointed towards the heart with his fingers.
